Welcome to the Schueco Excellence Awards for Design & Innovation 2015 in association with the RIBA Journal
Following their successful launch in 2014 the Schueco Excellence Awards are back!
The awards recognise and celebrate the architects, fabricators and subcontractors that Schueco has collaborated with in developing and realising Schueco facades, window and door systems for successful buildings.
Commenting on last year's awards, Mike Lane, managing director of Schueco UK Ltd, said: ‘I am delighted that the Schueco Excellence Awards are now in their second year. The competition is providing the UK’s architects and Schueco’s network of fabricator-partners with the wider national recognition that their talent and hard work deserve.’
Award winners and commended entries will be published in a special RIBA Journal awards supplement in July 2015
Last year's a hugely varied field of buildings were entered with the best demonstrating how dedicated input and collaboration from design team to specialist subcontractor through the supply chain to Schueco show the transformational power of the cladding and window system.
