Glasgow-based architect, Page/Park, has been named 'Practice of the Year' at the AJ Retrofit Awards, alongside winning an award for Hyde Park Picture House in the Conservation (up to £5m) category.

Earlier this year, Page/Park declared themselves a "reuse practice", with a commitment to the reuse and retrofit of existing buildings, and the regeneration of existing sites.

Welcoming the recognition of the award, Page/Park, said: "As a practice now in its second generation of leadership, and over a decade into its employee ownership journey, this accolade is important to us as recognition of our collective energy and commitment to achieving excellence in all that we do. Together we are concerned about the issues facing our society; from the climate emergency to the societal issues of wealth inequality and poverty in our towns and cities. Our contribution to making positive change is to work with communities to unlock the magic of our built heritage, and create places that build identity and spark joy in the everyday.


"Over the coming months we will be sharing more about projects recently completed, and those on site and on the drawing board. We were delighted this summer to commence work with the National Trust for Scotland at Fyvie Castle, and Moray Council for the Grant Lodge redevelopment project in Elgin. We will also be sharing more about our work on site at Teviot Row House in Edinburgh, Leeds Town Hall, and Glencairn House in Dumbarton. These projects share the common threads of careful conservation, creative thinking, and a commitment to improving fabric performance and working towards a net zero future.

"We'd like to thank everyone in our practice, and all of our project collaborators and clients who make our projects possible."
