The judges said


Spaceworks’ is not an individual scheme but a concept of providing affordable, flexible office and workspace for people in the area. We viewed three buildings, all completely different and all achieved the scheme concept in different ways

With occupants as varied as a group of Somali’s who provide high quality social care cross community and with a commitment to breaking down barriers to a group of artists to a Pentecostal Christian Church.

Not a grand scheme but a great concept which has been made a success by a team of dedicated professionals who have driven the project many from the beginning.
