The Buttermarket
The jury was struck by the project’s emotional and design intelligence. This is architecture that understands trajectory – of time, of place, and of community. Rather than impose novelty, the architects have uncovered what was already latent: flexibility, adaptability, and collective ownership. There is a deliberate modesty here. The architecture does not intimidate; it invites participation.”

“Through extensive involvement of volunteers, apprentices and local contractors, the engineering solutions were shaped to support both the conservation of an important heritage asset and the people who will continue to care for it. By prioritising local skills, materials and supply chains, the project has created opportunities that extend well beyond the construction phase. The project shows how engineering can make a positive community impact and preserve important heritage.”

Tone Works
William Stansell Historic Building Awards, Russell Lillford Award 2023 Tone Works Research
The investigations, analysis and photographic records required to establish the extent of the complex, the proceses of manufacture, its historical development, the fundamental changes of motive power for the varied types of intricate machinery, and the influences on the workforce proved a demanding challenge. The complexity of the research required to establish what could be approached, removed, saved, repaired or left to disintegrate formed a very Considerable task in itself.”
