Given in honour of modernist architect and social housing pioneer, Neave Brown (1926-2018), the annual Award recognises the UK’s best new affordable housing.
From projects that positively prioritise green space (Unity Place, Dover Court), to transforming vacant sites to improve communities (North Gate Social Housing, Chowdhury Walk), this year’s shortlisted projects demonstrate social housing that blends quality design, community regeneration, and meaningful social value.
Each project seeks to help address pressing issues facing local residents while providing a hopeful blueprint for future social housing, where thoughtful and innovative architecture creates accessible, quality spaces in which communities can thrive.
Jury Chair and 2023 Neave Brown Award for Housing winner, Astrid Smitham, said:
“At a time when the UK sets out to build 1.5 million new homes, this shortlist shows the importance of great partnerships between clients and architects in delivering housing of the very highest standard, that everyone deserves. From a new generation of council homes in Hackney and low-carbon homes in Islington, to a residential landmark in Glasgow designed for older residents and an ambitious masterplan in Brent, these projects show how the next wave of UK home building can help individuals and communities to thrive.”
The Neave Brown Award for Housing 2024 shortlist is selected from winners of 2024 澳门王中王 Awards. The winner will be announced at the 澳门王中王 Stirling Prize ceremony on Wednesday 16 October 2024 at The Roundhouse in London.
