RIBA East regional director, Louise Todd said: "Given the challenges of the past two years, we were thrilled to see a significant number of entries to the RIBA East Awards this year.
"The shortlisted schemes across the region demonstrate the determination and design skill of all the practices involved, on projects large and small and across all sectors.
"They also show the enormous value that architects bring to these projects and how their expertise can be used to create better spaces for people to live, work and experience.
"My thanks to all the practices and clients that have submitted their projects this year."
