The Glasgow and Leeds-based business was named ‘Practice of the Year’ at the Architects Journal Retrofit & Reuse Awards in London, as well as winning an award for its redevelopment of Hyde Park Picture House in the Conservation and Historic (up to £5m) category.

Earlier this year, Page\Park declared that it is ‘a reuse practice’, committed to the reuse and retrofit of existing buildings, and the regeneration of existing sites. This message builds on over 40 years of experience working in some of the most significant existing settings in the UK, and its commitment and enthusiasm for bringing fresh thinking to old problems.

As a practice now in its second generation of leadership, and over a decade into its employee ownership journey, this accolade is important as recognition of the collective energy and commitment to achieving excellence in all that they do.

Together the team at Page\Park is concerned about the issues facing society; from the climate emergency to the societal issues of wealth inequality and poverty in our towns and cities. Their contribution to making positive change is to work with communities to unlock the magic of the built heritage, and create places that build identity and spark joy in the everyday.

Eilidh Henderson, director of Page\Park Architects, said: “We are overjoyed by this recognition of the hard work of our team, and our collective commitment to careful conservation and the creative adaptation of existing buildings. We extend our thanks to all our collaborators and clients who make our projects possible.”

In the summer, Page\Park commenced work with the National Trust for Scotland at Fyvie Castle, and Moray Council for the Grant Lodge redevelopment project in Elgin.

Over the coming months, the team will also be sharing more about their work on site at Teviot Row House in Edinburgh, Leeds Town Hall, and Glencairn House in Dumbarton, all projects that share the common threads of careful conservation, creative thinking, and a commitment to improving fabric performance and working towards a net zero future.
