Souchez Gardens, Salisbury
Type: AwardThe Souchez Gardens development comprises 11 houses, to the south of Britford Lane, most on former nursery gardens. The judges were immediately struck by the way it stood out from the common ‘neo-traditional’ approach to new housing, which seldom manages to match the quality of the houses it’s modelled on. Souchez Gardens establishes its own […]

The cloister wall shows a […]

Kimberly West, Salisbury
Type: CommendationKimberly West is one of a pair of buildings which together make up a new care home.
