Aukett Swanke receives City Heritage Award

Aukett Swanke Group Plc, the international group of architects, interior designers and engineers, is pleased to inform shareholders that it has been awarded the annual City Heritage Award for a record breaking fourth time. This year the prize was presented by the Lord Mayor for the project at Ten Trinity Square developed by the Reignwood Group. This encompassed the provision of the new luxury Four Seasons Hotel within the refurbished iconic building which was originally erected as the Headquarters of the Port of London Authority in 1922. The award is jointly nominated by the City Heritage Society and The Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers and is given to the best Conservation or Refurbishment project in the City of London.

Aukett Swanke has won the City Heritage Award on three previous occasions, making the practice the most awarded since the scheme started in 1978. In 1980, the practice won the prize for the Union Discount Company on Cornhill and in 1992 the Royal Exchange (to which we are still architect today) won the accolade - on both occasions as Fitzroy Robinson and Partners, one of our founding practices. In 2002 Swanke Hayden Connell's (also a founding practice) new headquarters for Merrill Lynch on Newgate Street was the recipient.

Chief Executive Nicholas Thompson said "We are delighted by this award. We have an exceptional history of recognition for producing award winning modern refurbishments which fulfil the requirements of developers whilst preserving and enhancing the character of the buildings in which they are situated. As a worldwide operator we feel especially proud of our achievements at home in the City of London, the most historic business centre in the world."
