Enfield Council has won two architecture industry awards for work done in its ongoing mission to provide a greater number of quality homes for residents.

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) named the council ‘Client of the Year’ and gave it a London regional award in its housing category for Dujardin Mews, the first new council housing to be built in the borough for 30 years.

Dujardin Mews is comprised of 38 town houses, flats and maisonettes - named after triple gold winning medalist Charlotte Dujardin – that will be available to tenants and leaseholders from the soon-to-be demolished and redeveloped Alma Estate.

Enfield Council's cabinet member for housing and housing regeneration, councillor Ahmet Oykener, said: "Growth and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do in Enfield and Dujadin Mews is a great example of how Enfield Council is creating new developments for regenerating estates to create settled and stable communities.

"We are incredibly proud of the work that has been done at Dujardin Mews.

"It is a ground breaking project in so many ways and demonstrates how the public and private sectors can work together to produce truly special housing for tenants.

"Our regeneration schemes bring jobs to the area; help rejuvenate some of the poorest parts of the borough and provide benefits that run far beyond simply providing new homes.

"We are proud of these Enfield schemes and we are committed to improving the quality for all of our residents now and in the future."

Dujadin Mews was the result of the wide-ranging Ponders End regeneration project, and designed by Karakusevic Carson with Maccreanor Lavington.

It is one of 50 schemes honoured at the 2017 RIBA awards.
