London- and Bristol-based Levitate Architecture has won Urban Splash's Birnbeck Pier competition with this scheme for the island off Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
The practice saw off AOC, FLACQ, Pierre d'Avoine/White Young Green, Richards Partington Architects and Austrian firm MOH Architects.
The judges praised the design, which features a hotel and flats, for 'revealing the island's natural beauty'.
