Page\Park Architects is thrilled to have been shortlisted for the RIAS Andrew Doolan Prize Best Building in Scotland Award 2024. Established in 2002, the objective of the award is to identify and publicly celebrate the best building in Scotland each year.

According to the jury, the buildings chosen represent the variety of high-quality, contemporary buildings in Scotland.

“Choosing a shortlist for this year’s Doolan Award was both an honour and a challenge: there was a wealth of ambitious projects worthy of further celebration,” said chair of the Doolan Award jury David Kohn.

“The unanimously chosen final five demonstrate the breadth of contemporary Scottish architecture, from the finely-crafted to the handsomely urbane, from the revitalising of national treasures to state-of-the-art facilities.”

On North Gate the jury cited they were impressed by the architects’ commitment to provide convivial, attractive and robustly-detailed homes – clearly adored by residents and making for a new part of the city.

Page\Park have won the award twice previously, first in 2006 for our work at Maggie’s Centre, Highlands and again in 2016 for the Saunder’s Centre at Glasgow Academy.

The winning practice will receive the RIAS’ Gold Medal making this one of the most significant architecture awards in the world. Alongside the RIAS, the award is generously supported by the Doolan family and Scottish Government.

The winner of the 2024 Award will be officially announced on 22nd November.
