The restoration of the Elizabeth Tower has won a Royal Institute of British Architects National Award.

The conservation project was the most extensive in its 160-year history. The project drew on the specialist skills of craftspeople from across the UK, who prioritised the reuse of original materials and and the preservation of heritage crafts and techniques. 

‘A masterclass in conservation and craftsmanship at the home of the iconic Big Ben bell, preserving a monument for future generations’ – RIBA Award Judging Panel.
