The Forge
19/05/2020 by Buildington

The Forge development has been shortlisted in the prestigious ‘Housing Design Awards’.

The Forge was commended by judges for the creation of a new public street running through the site as well as the development of communal courtyards, offering an opportunity for neighbours to get to know each other and enjoy their new community. It was also praised for its innovative roofing and drainage strategy, including substantial blue and green roofs that restrict and delay runoff from the site, equating to 60% of the equivalent greenfield flow rate. This innovation also saw the scheme named the winner of the Roofing & Drainage category at the AJ Specification Awards earlier this year.

John Fitzgerald, Group Managing Director at Telford Homes, commented: “We’re delighted to see The Forge development recognised for such a prestigious award. We’re committed to creating exceptional build-to-rent developments and this award is testament to the innovation, commitment and meticulous attention to detail shown throughout the sites’ creation – resulting in a development that not only delivers substantial social enhancements to the area, but also makes a positive contribution to biodiversity.”
