Design and Craftsmanship Awards 2023 - Ceremony presentation video

Design and Craftsmanship Awards 2023 - DCA23
In search of the best new architecture in Norwich and Norfolk
“We believe great projects can change people’s lives for the better”.
This year, RIBA Norfolk and The Norwich Society were joined by Norwich University of the Arts for the Design and Craftsmanship Awards 2023. These biennial awards are a celebration of outstanding buildings and places throughout Norfolk that positively affect our built environment and make Norfolk a fantastic place to live and work.
The event was sponsored by Vantage. The 2023 awards ceremony was once again held at The Assembly House in Norwich with seventeen built projects recognised for their contribution. The projects were all based in Norfolk with designers and contractors mostly from the county.
A nomination not only celebrates the finished project, but all those involved from designers to the specialist craftsmen whose collaboration delivers high standards of finish and innovation. An award winner gains increased industry profile and recognition in a wider setting.
The awards were given to projects in that deliver a high standard of design and craftsmanship in their construction and finishes, meet the needs of their users and contribute to the public enjoyment of places, and demonstrate that they have taken account of the wider environmental implications, including minimising any impact on climate change from their construction and use.
