Awards

We’re delighted to share that PLANT has been shortlisted for the 2026 RIBA South Awards!

A heritage-led retrofit of the Grade II listed former Mountbatten House, Plant focuses on the repair, refurbishment and regeneration of one of Britain’s most important modern listed buildings. Together with Studio Knight Stokoe, we worked closely with the client to refine and deliver the planning and listed building consented RIBA Stage 3 design by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and Grant Associates.

All shortlisted projects will now be visited by a regional jury, with winners announced later this spring. We’re incredibly proud to see PLANT recognised at this stage and would like to say a big congratulations to the whole team!

We are thrilled to share that PLANT has been highly commended in the 2025 AJ Awards for the Refurb Project (£10m+) category!

“The retrofit of PLANT, originally known as Gateway House, restores and regenerates one of the UK’s most important listed modern buildings. Dating from 1973 by Peter Foggo and Arup Associates, the vast complex in Basingstoke comprises six levels of commercial workspaces blanketed in tiered roof gardens and terraces. New interventions include a redesigned entrance and reception area to enhance the arrival experience and establish a stronger visual connection with the gardens. Double-height spaces create vertical connections between floors, increasing the sense of openness and drawing more natural light into the plan. The jury admired how the remodelling had succeeded in opening up the building: ‘It’s been given new life’, they commented.”

A big well done to the whole team!
