A former German bunker that was transformed into a three-bedroom home has been shortlisted for an architecture award.
Bunker Six Eighty One, which overlooks Rocquaine Bay, is nominated for the Conversion of the Year Award in the Architectural Technology Awards.
Built in 1942 as part of Adolf Hitler’s Atlantic Wall defences, the bunker was originally designed to house 12 soldiers.
Those behind the project, which was completed in 2024 after five years, said it was thought to be the only World War Two bunker to have been fully converted into a home in the British Isles.
Developer BDL worked with lead designers A7 Architecture on the project which it said included five months of diamond saw-cutting through reinforced concrete.
André Rolfe-Bisson, founder of A7 Architecture, said it was not an easy project.
“We were working with two-metre-thick concrete walls, no windows, and 80 years of history – but that was the appeal,” he said.
“To see Bunker Six Eighty One recognised on an international stage shows just how far imagination and perseverance can take you.”
The Guernsey project will be competing against two other conversions at the 26 September awards.
The other nominations include a Grade II listed building with a medieval sandstone cave network transformed into a bar and a planetarium created from a disused Victorian underground reservoir.
