The renovation of the Malmö Stadsteater Hippodromen has been announced as one of the winners of the prestigious Chicago Athenaeum International Architecture Awards in the Restoration/Renovation category.
The awards, in their 20th year, presented in conjunction with the Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies is the oldest and most prestigious global architecture prize, highlighting new and groundbreaking design from around the world. This year's competition saw a record number of submissions from renowned architects around the world. An international jury of prominent designers then selected the winners from a shortlist of over 500 projects.
Designed by Haworth Tompkins and White Arkitekter in collaboration with Malmö City Theatre and Malmö Stadsfastigheter the theatre reopened in 2023 after a five-year major renovation. The theatre’s transformation reintegrates it into the city’s social fabric, making it a visible and accessible cultural landmark, remaining in keeping with its founding purpose as a meeting place for the people of Malmo. While much of the original building fabric remains and is intrinsically historically valuable, the deeper value is in its ongoing cultural role as a good host to the people of Malmo.

Haworth Tompkins is working with lead architects and masterplanners Maccreanor Lavington alongside Sergison Bates, Architecture Doing Place and East on the regeneration of the Aylesbury Estate in Southwark. The vast 28.5 hectare estate, one of Europe's largest, is being regenerated over a 30-year programme, providing 3500 new homes, of which over 50% will be affordable and prioritised for existing and former Aylesbury Estate residents.
Our appointment, through the Notting Hill Genesis Framework, delivers over 200 homes as part of Phase 2B, alongside a new neighbourhood park, with play areas, landscaping, and spaces for community use. Our plot includes a 25 Storey tower designed to maximise dual aspect homes.
Cllr Helen Dennis, Cabinet Member for New Homes and Sustainable Development, said: “I’m delighted to see these new high-quality, safe, and warm homes given the green light to go ahead on the Aylesbury Estate. It is vital that the estate renewal continues to progress, delivering affordable, decent housing and green spaces for Southwark residents, including existing Aylesbury residents and those on our housing waiting list."
