Abode at Great Kneighton has been named as Best Housing Development (26 units or more) at the 2014 Brick Awards. This is the third year running that we have been won the Best Housing Development award. 

The Brick Awards recognise excellence in design and construction using brick and are one of the longest established and widely respected design awards in the UK. The citation for Abode at Great Kneighton stated:

"Abode at Great Kneighton is an interesting and inventive scheme which encapsulates an intriguing range of house types and urban spaces. This is a clever response to a complex site which includes a large scale roundabout and changes from urban to rural across the depth of the site. The judges commented on the extraordinary layout of the site and the interesting and appealing use of snap headers in decorative panels used throughout the site. The brick used is fundamental to the design, character and success of Abode and is used extensively to articulate scales, accentuate entrances and elevations and is used alongside other materials to denote shifts in design and typology.

"An exemplary development, utliising the landscape well, with a well thought out layout which fits superbly into its surroundings."
