The City of Durham Trust

Unveiling of 173 Gilesgate award

On Saturday 27th April the plaque of the Trust’s Architectural Award for 173 Gilesgate was unveiled. Members of the Trust were invited by the owners to enjoy the extension and the garden, on a day of sunshine. It was interesting to hear the architect explaining how the design was developed.

The full details of this 2022 award can be seen here. It demonstrates how an unashamedly modern addition can complement perfectly an historic house.
