Architectural Achievement of the Year
Rick Mather Architects
For the Towner Gallery
The gentle seaside town of Eastbourne is an unlikely location for a slice of contemporary architecture. But the Towner Gallery, with its undulating white-rendered walls and views of the Sussex Downs, has already become an iconic landmark and a draw for tourists and locals alike. They have Rick Mather and his team to thank for creating the dramatic façade and gallery spaces, which house a vast collection of equally dramatic art.
