Thomasons’ Royal Road project wins RIBA London Award 2016

Royal Road, a highly-praised affordable housing development in Southwark for which Thomasons provided civil and structural engineering services, has won a RIBA London Award 2016 at the RIBA Awards 2016 for its exemplary design.

The RIBA awards celebrate the best architecture in the UK and around the world. Successful projects are awarded for innovation, commitment to design and the improvement and enhancement of people’s lives.

Royal Road provides 96 affordable homes for Southwark residents. The four cores of the building are arranged in the shape of a cross, allowing the footprint to step around existing mature trees. Renewable energy features resulted in achieving the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.

Previously a winner of a Completed Scheme Award at the Housing Design Awards in 2014, Royal Road was designed by Panter Hudspith Architects and the contractor was Higgins Construction.
