Winner Adelaide Wharf

摘要

The judges described all projects in this tough category as "amazing", butrnthe eventual winner, Adelaide Wharf by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris in Hackney, really is something special. It is the first scheme to be delivered as part of English Partnerships' London-Wide Initiative, with a mix of privately owned and rented apartments that have no visible difference between tenures. The partnership between AHMM, First Base and Bovis Lend Lease has produced an attractive scheme with a strong, colourful identity that was described by the judges as "like an insurance policy for the future". High quality durable finishes and careful consideration for the spaces between dwellings should make this a fantastic place to live - a fitting tribute to a brilliantly well-run scheme that came in 20% under time and 20% under budget thanks to the use of efficient construction technologies.
