Our lighting design for the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth has won the prize in the Public Buildings category in this year’s Lighting Design Awards, held at the London Hilton hotel, Park Lane, on 20 March 2014. Many thanks to the all of the judges and to the Mary Rose Trust for making this happen.
DHA Designs were delighted to be nominated for two awards, to be announced at next year’s ceremony in March. They are shortlisted in the Special Projects category for David Bowie Is… and in the Public Buildings one for The Mary Rose Museum. Both projects can be found on the website.
Two of our projects have been short-listed for this year’s Lux Awards: the facade lighting for the Science Museum under the category “Outdoor Lighting Project Of The Year” and the lighting for the V&A Museum of Childhood under the category “Hospitality And Leisure Project of The Year”.
We were very pleased to take the award for the Public Building category at the 2012 Lighting Design Awards, even though we had to beat another of our projects (Glasgow’s Riverside Museum) which was also shortlisted, to win. The winning project was the Atmosphere Gallery at the Science Museum, described by the judges as ‘Clever, thoughful and visually stunning’.
This has been one of our most successful categories at these highly-competitive awards, with wins in 2003, 2007 & 2012 and ‘Highly Commended’ certificates in 2009 & 2011.
