Award RIBA South Award 2023
Gort Scott’s design for St Hilda’s College in Oxford is a stunning development that has created a real sense of place while enhancing and reimagining the landscape of the college. The design uses two buildings, with very distinct characters, to frame a serpentine garden that responds to the meandering River Cherwell. The larger anniversary building successfully defines the college’s boundary, clearly identifies its new entrance, and creates a sense of enclosure for its beautiful gardens. The riverside pavilion, on the other hand, is a more transparent building, which successfully provides a counterpoint to its neighbour’s solidity.
