The 2017 British Council for Offices (BCO) Awards were recently announced and we’re delighted to say that we have featured a number of the winning and recognised projects in Mix over the past 12 months (it’s nice to know we’re on the right track!).
One of the BCO’s primary objectives is to define excellence in office space. As part of this objective, the annual awards programme provides public recognition for top quality design and functionality and a benchmark for excellence in workplaces.
The programme acknowledges innovation and focuses external attention on examples of best practice. Established in 1992, the competition has grown and developed over the years, becoming the most prestigious awards in the UK industry – alongside the Mixology awards, of course.
Here we bring you the key winners in the Commercial and Corporate Workplace categories, plus a couple of the other projects we’ve featured in Mix, which were also recognised by the BCO this year.
