More details on the award and how to enter <a href=\"https:\/\/smallprojects.architectsjournal.co.uk\/ajsp23\/en\/page\/home\">can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its 28th year, the annual award celebrates completed projects with a contract value of \u00a3350,000 and under. The bar has been raised again this year to reflect inflation and to ensure we can continue to celebrate the rich diversity of projects on a low budget.<\/p>\n<p>Since they were first launched in 1996, the intention of the award has remained the same: to give much-deserved recognition to schemes realised at a more modest cost. From home extensions to workspaces, restaurants to shop fit-outs, pavilions to small houses, architects all over the country are busy working on projects that may not make headlines but nevertheless provide a real indication of the depth of design talent across the UK today.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.architectsjournal.co.uk\/news\/winners-of-aj-small-projects-2022-announced\"><span class=\"s1\">Akin Studio was named winner of the\u00a0<\/span>AJ Small Projects Award in 2022<\/a> for its self-build \u2018tree house\u2019 in rural Herefordshire. A separate social sustainability prize was awarded to St Margaret&#8217;s Church by Studio BAD, an incremental redevelopment of a church that had previously been condemned as unfit for use.<\/p>\n<p>The judges were impressed by the one major intervention \u2013 putting in underfloor heating \u2013 which had been made to make the church inhabitable. They were also \u2018fascinated by the scalability of the project\u2019 and \u2018its application to larger spaces to bring them back into use valuably\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>All the projects entered for the award will be featured in the AJ Buildings Library and the 20 shortlisted projects will be published in the AJ in April 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for entries is\u00a0<b>27 January 2023<\/b>.
