The Housing Design Awards, uniquely supported by the Government and the industry’s key professional organisations, praised:

- The Malings (pictured above) – on the banks of the Ouseburn, close to Newcastle city centre – a project that includes a custom-build phase, and;
- Church Walk, in Stoke Newington, London – an entirely custom-built scheme.
The Malings provides 76 homes and was designed by Ash Sakula architects. It is located just yards from the Tyne and is on a steeply sloping site. The properties are arranged in terraces – some with roof gardens.

Church Walk, a winner in Boris Johnson’s Housing Design Guide Award, consists of two houses and two apartments on a tiny former garage site in North East London. Architects David Mikhail and Annalie Riches bought the site at auction, designed their own home and three others, and project managed the whole development. The modern design has a stepped, terraced profile, allowing natural daylight to pour into interiors, with the homes naturally lit from above via large triangular rooflights.
