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!
