There are now a wealth of architectural awards of various kinds, and submitting projects for consideration is often a time-consuming process. At KHR Architecture, we spend most of our time creating good architecture rather than chasing awards. Nevertheless, over the years we have been awarded a number of prestigious architecture and building prizes, as listed below.
