PTE is delighted that two of its Third Age schemes have been shortlisted for the Inside Housing Design Awards (IHDA).

Colby Lodge, 20 generously sized one‐bedroom flats in Walthamstow, has been shortlisted for the highly prestigious Best Older People’s Housing category.

The new affordable housing scheme is set in a picturesque garden for Walthamstow’s oldest charity, Walthamstow & Chingford Almshouse Charity, founded in 1527, and recently featured on BBC national news in an item about how to keep cool in the heatwave.

Centenary Lodge, which comprises 34 new homes in Aldershot for vulnerable and disabled veterans, set in a woodland garden, has been shortlisted for the Best Affordable Housing Development. The client is Stoll, founded during the First World War by theatrical impresario Sir Oswald Stoll.

IHDA celebrates innovative and inspiring developments, and making the shortlist is a recognition of the very best new build and retrofit projects in housing. The winners will be announced on the 29 November 2018. Best of luck to both PTE schemes.
