Consultation has concluded

Aberdeenshire Architectural and Landscape Design Awards is a biannual event, returning for its 13th year.

We are currently seeking nominations of any completed buildings or landscaping projects you have spotted across Aberdeenshire which you think should be put forward for an award. Any buildings have to have been completed in the last 4 years and landscape projects completed in the last 15 years, to take account of delays in construction due to Covid. Nominations will be open until the 31st July 2022. We will be able to take submissions from 1st August 2022.

We are seeking nominations for the following categories:

  • Business and Community Enterprise - This category focuses on commercial or community development. The submission can either be a new build or redevelopment project which demonstrates outstanding merit in its design and functionality, but also demonstrates clear merit in its conception, ethos and development.
  • Conservation and Building Adaptation - This category focuses on the reuse of existing building stock. The scheme must either demonstrate exceptional standards in the field of conservation or deliver an appropriate new use for a previously underutilised structure through renovation, restoration or re-development.
  • Innovative Single House Design (including extensions) - This category focuses on individual properties and extensions. The scheme must demonstrate the very best in construction, layout, siting and design. It should also demonstrate exceptional consideration in terms of environmental, functional and physical attributes.
  • Landscape and Biodiversity Design - Entries must demonstrate excellence in the formation of community open space, parks, gardens or other natural environment or green infrastructure projects. The submission must also outline how the scheme has contributed to the enhancement of biodiversity and blue-green networks. This can be either in isolation or as part of a wider development.
  • Building Communities for the Future - This category focuses on residential developments of five or more houses. The scheme will not only deliver well designed and attractive housing, but also demonstrate how a considered layout, incorporating landscaping and green open spaces, can create communities as well as deliver on housing need, working towards the creation of 20 minute neighbourhoods.
