Project Description
The Sainsbury Botanic Research Laboratory was the winner of the RIBA Sterling Prize 2012 and was a project that allowed Swift Crafted Ltd to demonstrate skill for high quality finishes and attention to detail. Despite tough competition from the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield as well as several buildings thrust into the Olympic limelight, the Sainsbury’s building took the top prize for being an exceptionally nice building, thoughtfully planned and beautifully constructed in fine stone, timber and concrete.
Stand out elements where the feature hardwood staircases and balustrades and lecture theatre linings.
