9. Accordia: Award Winning Architecture (Image 9 of 9)
The judges continued: "The development proves that good modern housing sells, that a committed local authority can have a very positive influence on the design, that a masterplan with a range of architects can be successful and that the very best architecture does not need to rely on gimmicks. It has already won numerous awards: Housing Design Awards – overall winner (2006); Building for Life Awards: Gold Standard (2006); National Homebuilder Design Awards (2006); Civic Trust (2007).
"It is a project that will be much referred to and used a future case study. It is architecture which gives hope for us all for the future."
