Housing Pioneer Scoops Mbe

摘要

Architect Harley Sherlock was awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours list for his progressive housing estates advocating high-density housing along traditional street patterns. The 1950s housing schemes in Islington, London, by his practice Andrews Sherlock & Partners, were hailed as ahead of their time and are said to have heavily influenced practices such as Levitt Bernstein and CZWG. The 82-year-old was 'surprised and delighted' to receive the honour in recognition of projects such as Blenheim Court near Archway and Southwood House in Highgate.
