AJ Small Projects

Celebrating the brilliance of smaller projects

Now in the 29th year, the Architects' Journal Small Projects Award celebrates projects with a contract value of £350,000 and under to give much-deserved recognition to lower-value schemes that are often a labour of love. 

2024 shortlist

140+ entries, 20 projects shortlisted, whittled down to one design to win this year's Architects' Journal Small Projects award at an evening ceremony held at Hawkins\Brown Architects in London.

For more than a decade, Marley has been proud to sponsor the AJ Small Projects, recognising and celebrating innovation in low-cost, high-impact architecture - a fantastic platform to inspire architects to think creatively, resourcefully and sustainably for small-scale projects that can make a big difference within a wide variety of communities.
