New Build
The Old Library , Albion Street , LEWES , East Sussex , BN7 2ND
The new apartments, which adjoin the two tower blocks on the Goodwyns Estate, have been built to a high eco-standard on a former garage site, previously owned by Mole Valley District Council. Fourteen of the new homes 12 x 2-bedroom and 2 x 1-bedroom apartments - have been let to local families on lower incomes. Six 2-bedroom apartments will be sold to local people on a shared ownership basis. Mackellar Schwerdt Architects bold scheme should be judged as an example of a new housing development contributing to the regeneration of an area. With the involvement of local residents and others in the design of the homes, and with improvements to the surrounding landscape, this scheme contributes both to the improvement of the estate and improving the lives of those who will live there.
