The Jury considered considered the entries and took into account the findings of the panel in their final choice. The scheme proposes 120 flats and a kindergarten. The block encloses terraced gardens and is surrounded by natural landscape and allotments. It is skirted by a pedestrian street and cycle route, graded to provide service, drop-off and emergency access throughout. No vehicles enter the internal courtyard.
Minimal parking is located for disabled flats and for visitors.
Flats are arranged in a traditional stair cluster about a close, providing secured access to the courtyard. Each stairwell is designed to include a furniture hoist and may be retrofitted with a disabled lift. Disabled flats are next to specifically designed gardens, all areas of the scheme are barrier free and routes are ramped providing disabled access to all public areas. The proposed construction utilises a light-weight. Materials have been sourced for minimal environmental impact, to be maintenance free, of proven technology and recyclable.
