Sunderland City Hall was celebrated as ‘Best of the Best’ at the British Council for Offices’ (BCO) National Awards in the capital last night, also taking home the ‘Corporate Workplace’ award. The office was joined by six other award winners recognised as leading examples of excellence in office space across the UK.
The BCO’s respected National Awards programme recognises top quality office design and functionality and sets the standard for excellence across the office sector. The dinner attracted over 1,200 key players from the industry to celebrate the best-in-class buildings as the winners from the Regional Awards programme attended Grosvenor House, hoping to take home the National Award for their category.
The full list of winners is:
– ‘Best of the Best’ and ‘Corporate Workplace’: Sunderland City Hall, Sunderland
– ‘Commercial workplace’: 80 Charlotte Street, London
– ‘Refurbished/ Recycled Workplace’: FORGE, Woking
– ‘Innovation’: Cadworks, Glasgow
– ‘Fit Out of Workplace’: Dojo, The Brunel Building, London
– ‘Projects up to 1,500m²’: Bicester Eco-Business Centre, Elmsbrook

Judges praised Sunderland City Hall, designed by FaulknerBrowns Architects for Sunderland City Council, as an ambitious and transformative project that will be the catalyst for creating a new commercial district and rejuvenating the wider city.
“It delivers an exceptional building which embraces the heritage of Sunderland whilst offering a contemporary and welcoming environment for the diverse community who use the building,” the judges said of how City Hall demonstrates how the public sector can drive positive change, restore pride and stimulate growth.
“The vision and design quality are aspirational whilst remaining accessible and welcoming to all which is a huge achievement.” It is the creative commercial structuring coupled with outstanding social impact that makes this project a worthy winner.
