Article posted: 31 May 2011

Land Securities’ One New Change, designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel in association with Sidell Gibson Architects, has scooped a prestigious award from The Royal Institute of British Architects at the 2011 RIBA Awards for architectural excellence.

Opened in October 2010, the £300m building, which represents one of the largest consolidated retail spaces across central London, has already won several prestigious awards. The mixed-use development, adjacent to St Paul’s Cathedral, is one of the Square Mile’s most historically strategic and comprehensive redevelopments, providing 340,000 sq ft of grade A office space in the City of London.

Speaking on behalf of Sidell Gibson, Sanya Tomic, Partner responsible for One New Change, said: “To win a RIBA Award is a remarkable achievement founded upon a collective effort; Jean Nouvel’s creativity consistently pushing the boundaries of the design, and our aspiration for quality, collaborative approach, lateral thinking and attention to detail at every level, delivering this innovative yet timeless design.”

RIBA Awards are given for buildings that have high architectural standards and make a substantial contribution to the local environment. Other awards in the Commercial and Industrial category went to offices in Hackney, Fitzrovia and Clerkenwell.
