Finalist in Housing Design Awards
Our Cambridge Crescent masterplan for Golding Homes is a finalist at this years Housing Design Awards. The prestigious UK-wide award was originally created to explain what residents think about innovative design and whether it can be replicated.
This continues 75 years later.
There was a clear vision to re-create the traditional crescent design found within the Maidstone area with a contemporary twist – part of the findings through the community engagement to incorporate their ideas and needs.
