RIBA National Award for Sutton Hoo

Writer: ORSAORSA

Great news for the Sutton Hoo project where ORSA provided Principal Designer services. The scheme, designed by Nissen Richards, has been awarded the RIBA National Awards 2022. Sutton Hoo is the site of two early medieval cemeteries dating from the 6th to 7th centuries near the English town of Woodbridge. Archaeologists have been excavating the area since 1938, when a previously undisturbed ship burial containing a wealth of Anglo-Saxon artefacts was discovered.


The project was commissioned by the National Trust who detected a lack in visitors’ ability to appreciate and comprehend this deeply significant historical landscape. The intervention involved a refresh of the original visitor centre and its exhibits of elements from the burial mounds, a clearing out and recasting of Tranmer House, the original house on the property, as well as the bold tower, as the culmination of the interpretive route. The project team included Price & Myers, Aecom, Arup and Terra Firma.
