The English National Ballet building, with façade by NA Curtain Walling, has been voted overall winner in the Schüco Excellence Awards for Design and Innovation.

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, the building’s ground floor is wrapped in clear glazing while translucent white cladding on the upper levels alternates with clear glass. The project also won in the Steel Project category.

Now in its seventh year, the event, run in association with Architecture Today, celebrate the collaboration between architects and specialist contractors, bringing clients’ visions to life. 

Awards were presented in ten categories, including residential, commercial, cultural and educational projects and considering both new build and refurbishment. The judges were looking for outstanding design and the flawless technical translation of the architect’s vision into high-performing reality.

Holding the awards ceremony online for the first time enabled Schüco to introduce a Viewers’ Choice category, and the winning project was The Fratry of Carlisle Cathedral.Details of all the 2020 winners is at:
