Appleby Blue Almshouse, a charity-funded social housing project to radically rethink community care and residence for older people, has won the Stirling Prize, Britain's top award for architecture.
The project, based in a busy part of Bermondsey in east London, took the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) best new building title for its creation of "high-quality spaces that are generous and thoughtful, blending function and community to create environments that truly care for their residents."
