About Stanton Williams – the Gold Award winner
This year, the Schueco Gold Award is being presented to Stanton Williams Architects, in recognition of the fact that the practice has completed not just one but two of the most
impressive buildings built in the UK over the past 12 months: a new home for Central St Martins art school in London and the Sainsbury Laboratory in Cambridge.
Few British architects can match Stanton Williams for the range of the work that it has completed over the past 25 years and fewer still have managed to equal its consistent quality.
And yet with the buildings that Stanton Williams has realised in the past year, this long established firm has surpassed itself.
