The low-rise houses were built by three architecture and design firms: Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Alison Brooks Architects, and Macreanor Lavington. The Accordia was selected from a shortlist of six, which also included Zaha Hadid's ski-lift near Innsbruck, Austria, and the new Westminster Academy in London. “This is architecture that treats adults as grown-ups and children as people,” the judges said of the Accordia project. The winning architect receives a cash prize of £20,000 ($34,080). The Stirling prize is named after the British architect Sir James Stirling (1926–1992). |
