Architects John McAslan & Partners and HOK Sport have won a high-profile competition to redevelop Ascot racecourse from a shortlist of eight practices.
The contract, believed to be worth 拢100m, will include two new stands to the north of the present seating.
The racecourse claims the scheme will be the most expensive redevelopment of a racetrack in Europe. Plans are due to be completed next year with construction expected to start in summer 2004.
Ascot racecourse chief executive Douglas Erskine-Crum said: "We are confident that the architects' collaboration on this project will create one of the new century's most exciting sports architectural designs for the royal racecourse."
