Award of Distinction 2018, The Lantern Room - extension to St Augustine's Church, Felixstowe Road, Ipswich.
The Award, of Distinction was given to the Lantern Room the new extension to Saint Augustine's Church in Felixstowe Road.
This structure greatly complimented the rather stark 1930s church. The architectural quality and original use of materials - the cladding in Corten rusting steel- the manner in which it respected and enhanced the church itself and way it set a standard for others to follow was noted and might be expected to lead to further honours.
The corten steel, also known as weathering steel, forms a rust like appearance after exposure to weather and gives the building its distinct colour.
