For this category the judges are looking for larger housing schemes across the North West. Entrants should submit a project comprising of between 50 and 250 new homes (not apartments).
Design wise, the judges are looking for something more special than a simple regurgitation of standard house types. Think something that responds to context in terms of material selection and how it knits itself into the local community.
The judges are looking for a scheme that meets the needs of the local community and stands out from the competitors – entrants should be prepared to explain ‘why’ they build houses, and does that ‘why’ translate into the product.
The scheme must be completed or at practical completion to be considered.
Qualifying period 1st March 2023– 31st March 2024
