In June 2019 we announced the winner of our Reimagining the Garden City design competition that we launched with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 2018. To find a winner we worked with an expert panel and we asked the community to take part in a public vote.
All the shortlisted entries were exhibited at our offices in One Garden City and on our website. The site north of the Grange Estate, included in the North Hertfordshire Local Plan, was used as a case study for the competition and the brief was to make this site the best it could possibly be including a modern interpretation of Garden City Design Principles.
EcoResponsive Environments won out of an amazing 95 entries from architecture practices from around the world. The public and the panel of judges felt they demonstrated a holistic and sustainable approach to modern garden city design.
“I came to the pop-up event on 29 May and was interested to see the different designs for the LG1 land. I have been online and viewed the plans in depth and left my feedback.” Exhibition visitor
