Stephen Fry presents Britain’s best architects with their awards at glittering ceremony

Cottrell & Vermeulen has been crowned BD’s Architect of the Year.

The architect was presented with the prestigious Schueco Gold Award by Stephen Fry at the annual awards ceremony last night.

The practice was also named Education Architect of the Year on the strength of a string of exceptional projects including Brentwood School in Essex and Notre Dame High School in Southwark.

The Young Architect of the Year Award was won by Feilden Fowles, following in the footsteps of a string of YAYA winners who have gone on to flourish, including Coffey Architects and Arquitecturia who are working on the Olympicopolis project with Allies & Morrison and O’Donnell & Tuomey.

The judges praised the quality of the entries and awarded highly commended honours as well as winners in a number of categories.
