asc (academy for sustainable communities) awards 2008 for one brighton

Judges comment: "The judges were unanimous that such ambition necessitated a special award. The judges would also like to encourage BioRegional Quintain and Crest Nicholson to put forward One Brighton for a future award once the development has been fully occupied and there is both environmental and social post occupation feedback. It just could be that such an exemplar development might achieve on a number of awards categories. Only time will tell." Link to the PDF.

The judging panel, Chaired by Michael Manser, CBE, one of the most distinguished architects of the recent decades, commented, "The [One Gallions] project shows excellent use of sustainable technology and innovative solutions towards the low and zero-carbon challenge."

Sarah Hartley, Deputy Property Editor, The Mail on Sunday, praised the project saying, "Communal rooftop gardens where residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables are a unique feature of One Gallions, by Crest Nicholson (Eastern) and Bioregional Quintain. The whole scheme emphasises the eco message and even the names of the apartment buildings, such as Energis, Zenith, Solaris, Purus, Vitrum and Vison, reinforce the eco theme. Designed by the architect Feilden Clegg Bradley, One Gallions will have its own energy centre and a 'One Planet Living' community centre."
