HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR

摘要

The Avenue creates 76 homes in Essex market town Saffron Walden on a school site. The mixed-tenure homes created funding for a new junior school and improvements to the existing main school building. Designed by Pollard Thomas Edwards, the scheme needed to be relatively dense in order to be financially viable, yet it blends into its mature landscaped context, with a series of "character areas" mirroring the town's architectural tone and avoiding a repetitive feel.
