Sponsored by the Jersey Architecture Commission (JAC) – an independent group set up by the Environment Minister to give guidance on improving design and architecture in Jersey – the awards attracted almost 70 entries for the difference categories.

David Prichard, the Chair of the JAC, commented on “the high quality and careful design of new work in historic buildings".
“Five listed buildings received awards or commendations in four categories – demonstrating sensitive and well considered repair, conversion, adaption and extension of these important buildings that contribute so much to the island’s character and identity," he said.
For each of the different prizes, the results are in…
The winner of this award was Logie Point in St. Brelade, a collaboration between local firm Carlo Riva Architects and Singapore-based Guz Architects.
Of this design, the JAC Chair commented: “The outstanding scheme was Logie Point, a new house of incredible design quality - in terms of its architecture, the response to its sensitive location and the thought that has gone into its environmental performance - which was considered by the Panel to be an exemplar for the island and of international significance.”
