Stirling Prize 2008 mede voor Maccreanor Lavington

Het woningbouwproject Accordia in Cambridge door Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Alison Brooks Architects and Maccreanor Lavington heeft tot ieders verrassing de belangrijkste Britse architectuurprijs, de Stirling Prize gewonnen. Ze versloegen daarmee grootheden als Zaha Hadid en Grimshaw. De jury zei onder meer: "This is high density housing at its very best, demonstrating that volume house-builders can deliver high quality architecture - and that as a result they can improve their own bottom line. [...] The whole scheme is about relationships: between architect and developer/contractor/client; between three very different firms of architects - Feilden Clegg Bradley, Maccreanor Lavington and Alison Brooks Architects; and between private and public external spaces, providing a new model for outside-inside life with interior rooftop spaces, internal courtyards and large semi-public community gardens."
