Accordia wins the Stirling Prize
11 October, 2008
By Emily Cadman, Liz Bury
Accordia in Cambridge by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Alison Brooks Architects and Maccreanor Lavington has won the 2008 Stirling Prize.
The judges commented: 「This is high density housing at its very best, demonstrating that volume house-builders can deliver high quality architecture – and that as a result they can improve their own bottom line.
"The whole scheme is about relationships: between architect and developer/contractor/client; between three very different firms of architects – Feilden Clegg Bradley, Maccreanor Lavington and Alison Brooks Architects; and between private and public external spaces, providing a new model for outside-inside life with interior rooftop spaces, internal courtyards and large semi-public community gardens.」
Peter Clegg, senior partner with Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects, told BD: 「I predicted all of the other winners but I couldn't have predicted this one. What we are doing is changing the mould of housing.」
When Accordia was shortlisted, BD Buildings Editor Ellis Woodman said: 「By rights, Accordia should have been on last year's shortlist. However, when the RIBA jury visited the scheme they found that they couldn't get access to any of the houses so decided that it couldn't be put forward for an award. The Stirling hasn't had a great record of recognising quality housing developments. After BedZed, Accordia is only the second housing scheme to be shortlisted in the prize's history. However, it would make a very worthy winner.
「In a period when the housing sector has become increasingly focussed on the construction of inner-city apartments, Accordia addresses the urgent need to build quality family homes at large scale and a sustainable density.」
The judges' choice of Accordia will certainly be of relief to the bookmakers. Going into the final day, the Cambridge housing scheme was sixth with odds of 5/1 at William Hill.

Estate wins Stirling design prize
Accordia housing development, Cambridge
A contemporary housing estate for a "post-Thatcherite Britain" has won the 2008 Stirling Prize for architecture.
Accordia, in Cambridge, was one of six developments shortlisted for the Royal Institute of Architecture (RIBA) prize, and the first housing estate to win it.
Its architects received the £20,000 prize at a ceremony in Liverpool.
The judges said Accordia, on a brownfield site near the city centre, won because it is "not afraid of communal aspirations and aesthetics".
It also impressed the panel with good size, well-proportioned rooms in its houses and flats.
"This is high-density housing at its very best," the judges said.
The key to the scheme, they said, was the "relationships" between the three firms of architects that designed it, with those who live on it, and between private and public spaces within it.
"[It provides] a new model for outside-inside life with interior roofspaces, internal courtyards and large semi-public community gardens," they added.
It was particularly noted for offering children a safe place to play outside and a place where cars are "tamed not banned".
Sunand Prasad, president of Riba, who announced the winner, said the development has done the "most for British architecture in the past year".
"It is architecture which gives hope for us all for the future," added the judges.
Its architects, Alison Brooks, Richard Lavington and Keith Bradley, said the fact it is the first housing estate to win the prize is significant.
"I think that represents the fact that there are very few high quality housing schemes," said Ms Brooks.
The estate is made up of a combination of council homes, homes for private sale and those available under shared-equity schemes.
Mr Bradley said: "A lot of mistakes were made in the past - not all the fault of architects, but architects were party to that: put all the same sort of people in the same place. It never works."
