Kingsdown House Wins Three Awards!

Despite the threat of snow and delayed trains, Rob Hill attended the Canterbury Society’s Design Awards last night, and we are very glad he did.

The awards celebrate buildings, spaces and places that are loved by the Canterbury community, and this year the judges – with a background in architecture, planning and civic design – received a record number of entries. Kingsdown House won in three categories:

New Building in a Conservation Area

Refurbishment

Overall Winner

‘It is an exemplary and intelligent project on all fronts: the elegant and sensitive refurbishment of historic buildings, the scale and form of the new boarding wing, quality detailing throughout, the transparent connections between new and old, and the exquisite landscaping.’
