Six housing schemes gave presentations for the new Healthy Homes category of the Pineapples Awards
The newly launched ‘Healthy Homes’ category of the Pineapples awards celebrates homes that incorporate twelve Healthy Homes Principles into their design, delivery and ongoing governance, and is part of the wider Campaign for Healthy Homes.
Judges heard presentations from the six housing projects during the Festival of Pineapples which took place on Thursday 27 February.
The shortlisted schemes are:
- The Bourne, Hook Norton for Hook Norton Community Land Trust Project and Greencore Homes with Charlie Luxton Design
- Agar Grove, London Borough of Camden for The London Borough of Camden and The Residents of the Agar Grove Estate with Hawkins\Brown and Mae
- Cannock Mill Cohousing, Colchester for Cannock Mill Cohousing Colchester Ltd with Anne Thorne Architects LLP and Studio Suetake (Millers House)
- Appleby Blue Almshouse, London Borough of Southwark for United St. Saviour’s Charity with Witherford Watson Mann
- Hazelmead, Bridport for Bridport Cohousing CLT with Barefoot Architects
- Greenhaus, Salford for ECF and Salix Homes with Buttress Architects
Each site has adopted different governance models, from council-led schemes to community land trusts and co-housing initiatives. All have sought to create new homes and neighbourhoods with a high level of design quality, that help to enhance healthy living and contribute to the wider local community they are situated in.
