Charcoalblue scores RIBA Awards hat trick

UK - Three out of the 14 inaugural RIBA National awards, presented at a ceremony in London, went to projects from the portfolio of young theatre consultancy Charcoalblue. They comprise The Roundhouse, Camden; The RSC Courtyard, Stratford-upon-Avon and The Young Vic, London.

Charcoalblue's specialist consultants worked in close association with architects Haworth Tompkins on the award winning Young Vic; John McAslan and Partners on the critically acclaimed Roundhouse and Ian Ritchie Architects on the RSC's groundbreaking temporary new home - the Courtyard Theatre.

Andy Hayles, managing director of Charcoalblue comments: "It was a great night. We're extremely proud to have been so closely involved with all three winning projects. It's great to see our contribution recognised from time to time."
