Solent Design Awards

Sponsored by PUSH, the Solent Design Awards are all about the encouragement of quality place-making: schemes that create special places, lift communities, create richer experiences …not just iconic buildings but also the places in-between, the carrier spaces for our daily lives. South Hampshire is a wonderful place to live and the Solent Design Awards will recognise new developments that add to rather than detract from the quality of life it offers; to our experience of the workplace, to our appreciation of the environment we live in.

Entries for 2010 closed on 20th August. The standard of entries received was high, illustrating the wealth of good quality schemes which have been built in the PUSH area in the last 5 years. The shortlisted schemes can be viewed at www.solentdesignawards.org.uk, from which the 'Quality Places' winners were chosen by a panel of judges. In addition, there was a ‘People’s Choice’ award, whereby people voted for their favourite scheme. The winners were announced on 27th October at an awards ceremony at Winchester Guildhall, sponsored by Warings
