Two schemes, designed by Hamson Barron Smith, were recognised last night at the East of England RICS Awards 2017.

Carrowbreck Meadow, a development of 14 Passivhaus dwellings within a woodland setting, was Highly Commended in the Residential category. This is the first project for Broadland Growth Ltd, a joint venture between NPS and Broadland District Council and has created comfortable, healthy homes that are affordable to run, eliminating fuel poverty, and futureproofing these homes for the demands of our changing climate.

Bowthorpe Care Village was also Highly Commended in the Community Benefit category. The aim of this scheme is to promote active aging, and it has been designed to provide the space needed to carry out the best possible care for all residents.

Construction of both schemes was carried out by RG Carter.
