A housing scheme in Cambridge was last night named as the winner of the 13th Stirling Prize. Accordia, designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Alison Brooks Architects and Macreanor Lavington, was described as 'high-density housing at its very best'.
At the award ceremony sponsored by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Architects' Journal, the judges praised the interior rooftop spaces, internal courtyards and large semi-public community gardens. 'These are traditional houses, but with a twist,' they added. 'Much construction was fabricated off site to increase speed of construction [and] reduce waste.'
