This week on Dezeen, we reported on the Lion Green Road housing scheme in Croydon winning the Stirling Prize.
Designed by local studio Mary Duggan Architects with Ruff Architects, the project was named the UK’s best new building at a ceremony in London.
Commissioned by Croydon Council, the development contains 157 homes spread across five blocks that are connected by a series of shared green spaces.
Following the win, we discussed the project and its place within the wider Stirling Prize winners on our podcast, Dezeen Weekly.
