The annual RIBA National Awards, which was established in 1966, aims to celebrate the country's best new buildings and give insight into its architectural design and social trends. This year's winning projects ranged in scale from rural houses and restorations to major projects like London's Kings Cross masterplan and Elizabeth Line railway.

"The sheer breadth of work is quite astounding, with large infrastructure schemes sitting alongside high-quality detailed smaller projects," said RIBA president Muyiwa Oki.
"This is a testament to the standard of architecture in the UK right now, as we maintain a sense of ambition and consider how design must evolve to meet future needs."
