Following the announcement that Goldsmith Street won the 2019 Stirling Prize, Rory O’Hagan, director at Assael Architecture, said:
“Goldsmith Street is a welcome breath of fresh air in the long line of Stirling Prize winners. The scheme is an architectural triumph, with community and sustainability at its heart. It truly shows what is possible when architects and local authorities take a forward thinking, resilient view on affordable housing, prioritising the long term quality and operation of the homes over the short term value uplift. Its PassivHaus certification is testimony to this, showing that low-energy, sustainable housing can be financially viable and accessible to all. Against a backdrop of growing climate concern, Goldsmith Street shows what architecture as an industry can do to better support people and planet.”
