The Granary wins international architecture award
Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects have won the 2012 World Architecture News (WAN) award in the Commercial sector for The Granary in Barking.
The judges commended the scheme for taking a 1870s listed building and giving it a new life with bronze cladding and a contemporary interior, transforming the previously derelict building into a chic commercial unit which more than meets the needs of a 21st century occupier.
Led by the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation, the Creative Industries Quarter (CIQ) at Abbey Road, Barking, has already seen the refurbishment of the Malthouse and now the restoration and addition of a modern extension to The Granary building which is home to the UK headquarters of Rooff.
