Buckinghamshire Design Awards 2022/23
Buckinghamshire residents deserve great places to live and work as well as a healthy environment everyone can enjoy. Good design can help deliver this.

The awards last took place in 2020 and the winners of the People’s Choice Award were Great Kimble Church of England School by Contour Architecture and Pheasants in Hambleden by Williams Griffiths and Amin Taha Architects.
