ANDERSON BELL CHRISTIE HAS DESIGNS ON UK AWARDS

Anderson Bell Christie, the Glasgow-based architects' practice, has been
shortlisted in four categories at the prestigious Architect of the Year
Awards 2006.

The firm is the only Scottish practice to be nominated in more than one
category, and the only UK outfit to be shortlisted in as many as four
categories. The awards ceremony takes place in London on November 2.

The titles for which the company will compete are Education Building
Architect of the Year, Private Housing Architect of the Year, Public
Housing Architect of the Year and Masterplanning Architect of the Year.
The judging panel will examine a selection of the firm's work in each of
the four categories.

Some of the projects being recognised include Auchterarder Community
Campus Primary and Nursery Schools; 62 Saltoun Street, a multi storey
residential housing development in the West End of Glasgow; Silverhills
rural project, Rosneath; and Isle of Gigha masterplan and design guides.

Adam Bell, partner, Anderson Bell Christie, said: "We are delighted with
our nominations. It highlights the success of our recent portfolio and
the fact that we consistently deliver the very best in architecture and
design.
"Our dynamic approach ensures we provide entire projects specific to
their social and cultural contexts, ensuring long term sustainable
solutions. We hope our work is setting a standard for future public and
private projects in Scotland."
