Our particular approach has led VATRAA to be featured in the international press, including Fast Company or Dezeen. Our designs have been recognised at the RIBA Awards, Dezeen Awards, Archdaily Awards, AJ Retrofit, Don't Move Improve or British Home Awards, culminating in the construction of the 'Monument against Plastic Pollution' in Milan after winning an international competition with 1600 entries. In 2021, Dezeen listed VATRAA among the Emerging Architects of the Year worldwide, while in 2024, RIBA awarded VATRAA with a London Award and a Stephen Lawrence Prize shortlist.
