AC Architects is one of the major prize-winners in the International Green Apple Awards 2008 for the Built Environment and Architectural Heritage. The Cambridge based practice has been given the regional Silver Award for the use of traditional skills in the conversion and extension of a group of listed buildings (The Cloisters) at Thetford Grammar School in Norfolk. The Cloisters provide a new state of the art Sixth Form Centre and Drama Studies Centre. This accolade follows last year’s Green Apple Award for the environmentally friendly design of the practice’s own recycled Victorian office building in Victoria Road, Cambridge. The award ceremony took place at the Tower of London last week (Monday, 2nd June). The prestigious ‘Green Apple’ was presented by top botanist and TV personality Professor David Bellamy, OBE.
