The Balnearn Boathouse on the shore of Loch Tay, Perthshire, was inspired by the James Bond series. It features an underground cave that opens up, allowing a speedboat to be driven in and winched to its mooring position.

The building at 60 Threadneedle Street used to house London’s Stock Exchange, but was converted to office space under the watch of Eric Parry Architects. Rent at the property is currently £385 per square metre.

Among the international winners was the Carrasco General Cesareo L Berisso International Airport in Uruguay. The new terminal, designed by Uruguayan-born architect Rafael Vinoly, started operating in December 2009.
