I hope this doesn't become a trend, and by this I mean every ESC member turning out to be world-famous this or award-winning that. It can be awkward for some of us with fewer achievements to show... :-) In any case, yes, Thomas Hatchuel shared the good news today with us, see his note below:
Good news everyone!
I have just won The Camden Quality Design Award 2009 on one of a building I have designed in the UK before our departure to Uruguay.
It is a funny story because the building was an old Coffin factory, (Coffin=dead people box) and you can imagine that no one wanted to touch that building but a great developer decided to go for it and asked us to change it into apartments!
The building was full of constraint because it was at the back of other buildings but we managed to get planning and the building is very true to the final design, it sold very quickly and apparently the occupiers are very happy with it.
See you all very soon I hope.

If you read Spanish, you can read more about Thomas and his family in this article appeared in La Nacion a couple years ago. Google also throws up a bunch of mentions of his prize winning tennis.
