Three Corstorphine & Wright projects have been shortlisted at the Constructing Excellence West Midlands awards for 2025.
UKBIC: Faraday 2, Coventry

Millpond House, Kidderminster
This scheme has been shortlisted for both the Delivering Value and Residential Project of the Year categories. Millpond House, located in Kidderminster, is a newly developed facility designed to provide temporary accommodation for individuals and families in transition to finding permanent homes. The facility offers 20 accommodation units, each equipped with en-suite facilities and community areas such as a shared kitchen diner, lounge areas. End apartments have been designed to be co-joined to create a multi-bedroom unit.
Unusual Rigging, Northamptonshire
This scheme has been shortlisted for Building Project of the Year. The Unusual Rigging HQ exemplifies a tailored approach to sustainability, focusing on the client’s needs related to their rigging business for theatres and events. This project is a standout for its integration of circular economy principles and low-energy design strategies aimed at achieving net zero or low carbon impact. ‘True cost’ has been considered in every design decision; that is not only the market price, but the hidden cost required to repair the social and environmental damage caused along the supply chain.
