Mandrake wins Architecture Today Award 2023

The Architecture Today Awards celebrate buildings which have stood the test of time; all the finalists have been in use for at least three years and demonstrate a strong track record for delivering on their environmental, functional, community and cultural ambitions. The judges said: “This is a project that has adapted, chameleon-like, to changes in use; from production studios to boutique hotel. More astonishing still, each of these incarnations have been carried off with effortless aplomb.”

Featured in the January - February issue of Architecture Today with beautiful new photos by Timothy Soar.

Heathlands is the largest deaf school in the UK, offering a Total Communication approach to education, incorporating British Sign Language, Sign Supported English and spoken English. The building is designed to be simple and flexible, to create valuable new teaching space and allow the school to adapt and improve existing facilities.
