CIVIC TRUST 2009

New Road, Brighton is a Special Award Winner in the 2009 Civic Trust Awards. These awards are given to outstanding schemes which have displayed excellence in a specific category or field - New Road has been awarded the Streets Award sponsored by CABE.

The panel said "By adopting the concept of a shared space the scheme has transformed a traditional, motorist dominated street scene incorporating rigid features such as kerbs and crossings into one where pedestrians are able to move freely over the whole area and have priority over other users. The inclusion within the design of attractive features such as bespoke seating and lighting has improved the experience of many people who use the area, and has created a new café culture with a lively, welcoming atmosphere which is pedestrian friendly both during the day and in the evening. Local people were involved in the design process through a series of workshops and it is clear that the scheme has improved the experience for many people who use it."

Our project at New Road, Brighton has received a special commendation from the Stone Federation Great Britain at their 2008 Natural Stone Awards, alongside fantastic schemes by Tonkin Liu and Gustafson Porter. 

Recognising projects with exemplary design and execution of stonework, the panel said "Introducing stone in a gentle and well controlled manner has linked together diverse architectural styles and building uses, which has resulted in a extremely lively street.To produce something so simple and so effective requires a great deal of input by the designers, which this scheme clearly received."
