Foyles New Store Wins Architectural Awards

Shelf Awareness

Congratulations to Foyles, whose new flagship store on Charing Cross Road in London was at the center of several local architectural awards, according to bdonline. The architectural firm Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands was named RIBA London Architect of the Year for its work on the store. 

Judges said: "The project is a triumphant resurrection of a stuffy and declining bookstore into a dynamic literary emporium that transforms bookshopping for Londoners."

Foyles also won for RIBA Client of the Year. The judges cited "the strong relationship forged between designer and client."

And the store won one of the organization's "architecture excellence" awards.
