Our project for Pembroke College, Cambridge has won several awards at the CFCFI Awards. These awards recognise the very best of the buildings that are shaping Cambridge - whether through trailblazing sustainability, exemplary restoration, or community impact.

  • Winner: Best Refurbishment over £3m
  • Winner: Craftsmanship Award
  • High Commendation: David Mackay Award for Engineering & Sustainability
  • High Commendation: Contractor (Cocksedge Building Contractors)


We are honoured that the judges have recognised Pembroke Mill Lane for its innovation, design excellence, craftmanship and complexity in both design and delivery on what is a highly complex site in the historic city centre of Cambridge. We want to extend our congratulations and thanks to the whole design team – these awards recognise the importance of collaboration between all members of the client and design team – architects, contractors, structural and civil engineers, services engineers and landscape designers – in delivering ambitious and pioneering sustainable design.

The judges commented that “The project needed to apply a vast range of craft skills due to its size, complexity and multi-faceted nature. The Mill Road complex presented huge challenges, and we were awed and impressed by the quality, detailing, diversity and beauty of what has been created. We particularly commend the recycling of materials, including timber and brick; the careful sourcing of new timber; the fact that where possible historic features have been left to add character and personality; and the clever integration of new features, such as the forged grille at the street entrance.”
