Best affordable housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best affordable housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Housing association CHP is proposing the redevelopment of Andrews Place and Rainsford Lane, Chelmsford with 250 new homes. The proposed plans include green open spaces and homes with flexible design solutions that help older people live independently.
The housing firm says if approved, work is unlikely to start before spring 2026 and it’s expected the development could be completed by the end of 2028. Existing residents in homes in the area will be moved to another property. The housing association says it’s “providing priority and personalised support to every customer to identify their next home and help with a smooth transition.” The firm has appointed The Hill Group as the main housebuilding contractor.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
