The eight separate buildings and 19 townhouses, range in height from three to 30 storeys. Brick is integral to the design with “buildings paying homage to the former brick industrial buildings with a modern warehouse approach,” commented the architects. Chelwood, a large home in Amersham by Napier Clark Architects won Individual Housing Development, featuring handmade local red brick and local charred timber cladding. Gardenmore Green in Belfast (Small Housing Development), is a high- quality social housing scheme by Hall Black Architects. Buff brick used as the primary cladding material “offers a contemporary marriage of the red brick and buff render used by houses close by,” said the BDA.

KSR completes complex high-end Novel House apartments in Hampstead
KSR Architects & Interior Designers have completed Novel House, a complex “multi-residential” project comprising 17 apartments in Hampstead Village on the site of a former nurses’ home. The seven-storey building contains luxury apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms, including a 3,200 ft2 lateral penthouse, private parking, gym and concierge. The building’s elevated position offers full views of the London skyline, and it is surrounded by listed houses, boutique shops and the local landmark Christ Church. KSR “worked closely” with developer
client The Linton Group to deliver the scheme. They commented: “Novel House is a rare example of a multi-residential new build in this conservative location,
Redevelopment of this site was approached carefully, given the proximity to neighbouring properties and the two-storey level change from back to front. The changes in levels across the site resulted in a “complex” piling structure and support to ensure there was no signifi cant movement affecting the immediate neighbouring properties which include a church and several listed buildings.

and the resulting building harmonises with its neighbours and maximises space, light, and views,” said the architects.
3D computer modelling was required in order to ensure privacy between the units while maximising natural light and views. The main structure is a concrete frame with brick cladding to the lower levels and lightweight cladding to the upper levels which is stepped back from the principal facade.
Hitra Offi ce and Commercial Building
In healthcare, winner of the Public category was The Alder Centre, a counselling facility for bereaved families, designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris. The judges said: “Clay bricks have been used to excellent effect. The rational, elegant design balances solidity with transparency with a series of parallel exposed brickwork walls bringing the garden in.”
Other winners were Neptune Wharf at Fish Island Village by Haworth Tompkins architects (Urban Regeneration), Royal College of Art Battersea Campus designed by Herzog & De Meuron (Education), Houlton School in the Refurbishment category, designed by van Heyningen and Haward Architects. The Innovation
Woodmore Mews
category was won by the major redevelopment of Battersea Power Station by WilkinsonEyre, Purcell Architecture and Nanci Jones, considered to be the largest brick structure in Europe when completed. The international project chosen for the
Worldwide award was created in Tehran for the Hitra Offi ce and Commercial Building by architect Hooman Balazadeh, sloping outwards to combine a tight footprint with natural light. A “homogeneous mass was formed which creates a varying combination of brick and turquoise colours,” to which the judges responded resoundingly: “The stunning building effect reconsiders the morphology of a typical offi ce building to enhance the quality of lighting of the space.”
