much-needed affordable housing for the Island. “Southern Quarter combines traditional and
contemporary design elements to create a sus- tainable, village-style development, providing high quality affordable housing for the local commu- nity. The Group’s ongoing commitment to this scheme reinforces its reputation for producing and managing premium mixed tenure housing developments.” Southern Space Ltd.’s, managing director, Mike
May, said: “The expert architecture and environ- mentally friendly design has made these wonderful new homes appealing to young first time buyers on the Island. As a result, we have managed to keep a steady flow of sales, despite the difficult
economic conditions of the past two years.” Designed by PCKO Architects, the homes are
of the highest workmanship, incorporating eco- friendly and energy saving design features. Natural materials including brick, render and wood, make the scheme an ecological, sustain- able development, which complements the sur- rounding village streetscapes. The LABC awards celebrate excellence achi-
eved through building standards, technical innova- tion and sustainable designs. The Oak Vale hou- sing development was commended in the ‘Best Social Housing Development’ category as an unusual mixed ownership development of afford- able housing, constructed to and above Building
Regulation standards, incorporating many (eco- friendly) design features.
Southern’s commitment to excellence Our on going commitment to this scheme, one that any private developer would not have taken on, reinforces Southern’s track record of produc- ing and managing high quality mixed tenure housing developments. The infrastructure pro- vided, such as the footpaths, and continuing man- agement of the scheme will bring social benefits to the neighbourhood and the wider community.
