Award success for new housing in South Downs National Park
December 20, 2021
Excellent design, architecture and craftmanship were the winners at the 2021 Sussex Heritage Trust Awards.
Thirty award-winning projects were announced at the 2021 Sussex Heritage Trust Awards, held at Pangdean Old Barn, Pyecombe, near Brighton.
The Awards saw the inaugural announcement of the South Downs Design Award, which was sponsored by the South Downs National Park Authority.
New housing at Belloc Close, in Midhurst (pictured above), won the award. King and Drury worked closely with MH Architects to create four new homes on the site of a former ambulance station. The judges noted: “A very exciting and well-thought-out development on a difficult brownfield site, it clearly had care and attention to details high on its list of priorities.”
The award was presented by Ian Phillips, Chair of the National Park Authority.
Highly-commended was Landour at Telscombe, submitted by MortonScarr Architects – a flint-clad house located on the top of the South Downs, replacing a previous 1930s chalet bungalow in poor condition.
The new Goodwood Education Centre, submitted by SMD Construction Consultancy, was also highly-commended.
The single-storey building comprises a timber frame with cedar roof shingles and larch wood panelling. All external timber was sourced from and milled on the Goodwood Estate..
