The project involved extensive renovation and upgrade of a unique Grade II listed, 1930's house.

Gavin Berriman, project architect at the firm said: “It is fantastic to be shortlisted for such high industry accolades.

“It is a beautiful building and we are delighted with the result for our clients.

“The success of this project is thanks to working in close collaboration with our clients, conservation officer and building control.”

An RIBA Regional Award is given to a UK building for its regional importance as a piece of architecture.

The regional winners, to be announced later this year, will then be shortlisted for national awards.
