We’re thrilled to welcome Benjie Nijar to the Anotherkind team. 🙌

With a wealth of technical wisdom and a passion for building great things, Benjie brings the perfect mix of experience and energy to our studio.


Here’s to building momentum together and driving innovation forward.

This time last week, Team Anotherkind were thrilled to be celebrating our win at the The Architectural Technology Awards in London, hosted by the amazing Matt Allwright.

Team AK won the Conversion of the Year award for the design and delivery of the Sherwood Observatory - Planetarium & Science Discovery Centre in Nottinghamshire.

We were up against some tough competion, but were victorious in the end! We are really delighted the scheme has been given the recognition it deserves. 

Our vision was developed and delivered by main contractor G.F. Tomlinson, along with a local consultancy team and specialist partners.

The judges had this to say "A highly commendable and technical project. It delivers educational, environmental, and architectural value through innovative reuse, digital excellence, and thoughtful public engagement. Sherwood Observatory stands as a beacon of how architectural innovation can drive social transformation. By harnessing advanced construction technologies, the project elegantly fuses heritage with modernity to create a space that’s educational, inclusive, and environmentally forward-thinking. A worthy winner."
