'Our prestigious awards celebrate the world’s greatest brick architecture and craftsmanship,' says Keith Aldis, chief executive of the BDA. 'Every year we welcome hundreds of projects, entered by the world’s leading architects, specialist contractors and developers.'

Seventeen categories are judged by a specialist panel, positioning the Brick Awards as one of the world’s most reputable design and build competitions.

'This year the standard of entries was incredibly high and some exceptional projects didn't even make the shortlist,' says Aldis. 'The judging process was very difficult indeed. But the result is that we will be showcasing the very best of the clay brick industry at our awards ceremony in November and we can't wait.'

Last year, the Supreme Winner of the Brick Awards was the extension to Radley College Chapel, near Oxford, designed by Purcell Architects with bricks supplied by Northcot. The project also won the Contractors' Choice Award and the Craftsmanship Award.

Other winners included: Sustainability Award - Commercial: The Department Store Studios, London; Sustainability Award - Residential: Barratt Zed House, Manchester; and Architects' Choice Award: Woodmore Mews, London.
