The Design Awards are a celebration of the great design and architecture in Hackney. The Hackney Council launched the first Hackney Design Awards in 2004. These biennial awards are just one of many initiatives aims at achieving high quality development that supports the Council’s wider sustainability objectives. The Council recognises the importance of high quality design and appreciates the positive contribution it can make to the lives of the residents and the whole community.
This year, nominations for the awards came from all areas: the architects who designed the scheme, the residents who now inhabit the homes, or people inspired by the look of a building or place. Some 50 projects were received and we are pleased to announce that from the 16 schemes shortlisted in September 2016, this year's independent judging panel has selected 7 winners and Woodberry Down Wetlands is one of them.
Woodberry Down Wetlands which is a major heritage and landscape conservation project allowing public enjoyment of the East Reservoir is also the People's Choice winner this year.
