News & Views Winner of the AJ Architecture Award: Sidcup Storyteller Back to news & views Our Sidcup Storyteller project has won the AJ Architecture Awards 2024 in the Civic Project category! Out of 120+ shortlisted schemes, Sidcup Storyteller is 1 of 23 projects that have won an award. ➡️ Designed by DRDH ARCHITECTS LIMITED, the double-height ground floor houses the library and café, with a staircase leading to three acoustically isolated cinema screens and a community room. ➡️ Nine residential units are situated at the rear of the building away from the crossroads. The façade of hand-made, slim-format Belgian bricks responds in colour and material to the three other buildings at the junction, while the form hints at the Art Deco character of a cinema that previously stood opposite. ‘As a piece of architecture and what it does for the high street, it’s brilliant,’ said the judges, who praised the design’s maturity, timelessness and placemaking. Thank you to the Neilcott team for all your hard work to achieve this & congratulations to all of the winners & finalists!

To be considered, projects are required to have gone beyond the building regulations as a minimum, using best practice guidance, putting people at the heart of the project, and showing exemplar design. Regional Finalists are schemes which have demonstrated a significant standard of universal design in their region, contributing to the quality and appearance of the built environment and providing a positive civic contribution. To be selected as a Regional Finalist for such an award, is truly an honour and a testament to the planning and intention put in from our project team, Architects Rivington Street Studio, our subcontractors & SYZ stakeholders. ➡️ The Shipman Youth Zone is a car-free, zero carbon, high-quality, co-produced youth offer that provides a varied and inclusive range of activities for young people aged between 9 and 19. ➡️ The cross laminated timber building features facilities for music production, cooking, fitness, film and art specialisms; all centred around a double-height multi-functional hub. ➡️ The building has achieved BREEAM Outstanding and features an extensive photo-voltaic array on the roof and a battery bank, with a highly performing airtight envelope, all contributing to the sustainability of the scheme.
