It was also on the 2021 Stirling Prize shortlist.

Key Worker Housing, Eddington, Cambridge, Stanton Williams – a fresh take on communal city-living with loose, interconnected courtyards that are easily accessible by all. It won a 2021 RIBA East Award and National Award and was shortlisted for the 2021 Stirling Prize and Neave Brown Award for Housing.
