The Echoes wins RIBA East Award
We’re delighted that The Echoes is one of seventeen RIBA East Award 2017 winners. The Echoes comprises 53 flats and a community centre for Thurrock Council and follows on from the success of Bruyn’s Court – also for Thurrock Council – which was successful in 2016. The judges stated that; “It is good to see such a high quality housing scheme sponsored by a local authority…Such a close collaboration between architect and local authority has been rewarded with a bold architectural response…The level of brickwork detailing is exceptional and considerable attention has gone into junctions, soffits and jambs to give a robust high quality building…This is an impressive addition to Thurrock’s housing stock that has met the challenges of an awkward site in a playful and imaginative way.” The Echoes will now go on to be considered for the RIBA National Awards
