Graeme Massie Architects’ winning design was selected from a shortlist of five to redesign Birmingham’s Centenary Square. The square provides a new civic space within the heart of Birmingham, and a setting for some of the city’s most important public buildings.

Centenary Square was officially opened at a ceremony on 3 July 2019.

Sir Albert Bore, Leader of Birmingham City Council, said: “This competition has attracted entries from national and international designers, with the quality of entries making the judges’ job extremely difficult, but I am delighted that we are now at the point where we can reveal the winner.

“We believe the winning scheme offers something different for Birmingham and will reshape Centenary Square into an important public space where people can stop, relax and socialise, rather than simply passing through, as well as coming together to enjoy a diverse calendar of events.”
