I was really pleased to learn we had won another two RIBA Awards for Architecture this week for Chips in Manchester and Mills Bakery in Plymouth.

We’ve now received 22 RIBA awards for architecture. As satisfying as this it’s also a burden to ensure we keep striving to be innovative and build real quality schemes that will continue to win awards.

As I tell every member of staff who joins Urban Splash, we’re only as good as our last (or should that be next!?) scheme, so we must keep striving towards the next project, and hopefully the next award! If you go into a restaurant and have nine good meals and one bad one, it’s the bad one that gets talked about; we’ll just keep trying to avoid the cock-up!
