A Guernsey architecture firm has been shortlisted for a regional award for its work redesigning the area around the island's iconic Bathing Pools.
DLM Architects has been recognised by the RIBA South East Region for its work on the Vive la Vallette project.
Judges from the Royal Institute of British Architects will visit Guernsey and The Bathing Pools at the end of March.
David De La Mare, Managing Director of DLM Architects, said: "We are excited and honoured that the Bathing Pools has been shortlisted in the prestigious RIBA Awards 2024. It has been fantastic to experience the positive social impact the project has had on our community and now for it to be recognised alongside the best architecture in the UK.”
David Warr Chairman of Vive La Vallette LBG said: "When we commissioned DLM Architects to design the new facilities at La Vallette the brief was to design a building that would stand the test of time, maximize the potential of the site and provide a welcoming accessible space for all.
"David de la Mare and his team have achieved all of the above and more and the feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Guernsey now has a World class facility to compliment the outdoor swimming facilities of which all involved can be proud."
The RIBA Regional Awards "recognise excellence in UK architecture across a range of sectors" with RIBA "celebrating outstanding work for over 180 years".
