'Quietly brilliant' Tillydrone scoops two more awards

These two new awards add to a fantastic run of recognition for the development in Aberdeen which is paving the way as an exemplar for affordable housing design. 

Tillydrone’s ongoing success can be attributed to its ‘build more for less’ design philosophy, which saw an ambitious and rigorous list of sustainability targets being met within a tight project budget, all contributing to lower and affordable running costs for residents.

These seventy new homes have contributed to the acute need for affordable and adaptable homes within the city of Aberdeen, offering whole-of-life adaptable accommodation for later living and residents living with dementia. 

The annual Scottish Home awards celebrate excellence in housing and development by recognising outstanding achievements across the sector. The event which champions innovation, sustainability and community impact in the housing sector, described Tillydrone Affordable Housing as ‘quietly brilliant’, as it was awarded winner in the ‘Innovation in Design’ category. 

With a national remit, The Unlock Net Zero awards celebrate and champion individual and organisational contributions to a carbon free future for the UK housing sector. The awards provide a platform to learn from all the great work underway to deliver a successful net zero transition. Winning the ‘New Build of the Year’ for North and Scotland is an incredible honour for the team, with the judges describing the project as “A holistic approach to housing provision with full consideration of residents’ current and future needs. Design has been shaped by comprehensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders”
