RIBA London Awards double

We’re delighted that both the Brentford Project and UNCLE Wembley Gardens have won RIBA London Awards at the 2026 ceremony.

The Brentford Project for Ballymore — delivered alongside Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Maccreanor Lavington and Grant Associates — has helped reconnect Brentford’s High Street with its waterfront through new homes, walkable public routes and spaces shaped by the area’s working river heritage. Hollandbury House stands out within the new neighbourhood with its distinctive cantilevered, red-oxide balconies, offering residents immersive views over the abundant tree canopies of Syon Park and Kew Gardens.

Judges praised the scheme, stating: “The completed Phase 1 of the Brentford Project demonstrates how housing-led regeneration can be delivered with architectural clarity, urban generosity, and civic ambition. It sets a compelling benchmark for town centre renewal: positive, connected, and forward-looking."

Wembley Gardens for HUB Living brings affordable homes for rent to the heart of Wembley through a pair of elegant towers informed by the area’s Metroland heritage. Defined by horizontal brick banding, ribbon glazing and generous views across London, the project contributes to the wider transformation of Wembley’s town centre.

Judges said of Wembley: “It stands as a very good example of contemporary urban housing: elegant yet pragmatic, expressive yet disciplined. It demonstrates how design excellence, social integration, and environmental responsibility can be brought together to unlock complex sites and create places of lasting value."

Both projects are different in scale and character, but share a common ambition: to create places that feel generous, connected, and rooted in their surroundings.

Thank you to our clients, collaborators and project teams for bringing these places to life.
