Brabazon Wins Brick Award for Large Housing Development
7th November 2024
Brabazon Phase 1, part of a new neighbourhood for Bristol won the prestigious “Large Housing Development” award at last night’s Brick Awards, hosted by the Brick Development Association (BDA).
Putting the historic 142-hectare Filton Airfield site in Bristol back into use we have responded to the housing crisis and the UK levelling up agenda, to create a low carbon masterplan for a high-density, sustainable, new city district, with the YTL Arena Bristol at its heart.
Within the masterplan, we are delivering two phases of housing, setting a benchmark for quality homes, in green and connected neighbourhoods.
This phase of the project stands out for its distinctive use of brickwork as the defining architectural element. The judges commended the development for its “economy of means,” as well as its diversity in form and exceptional quality detailing.
Congratulations to everyone involved.

The success is in the simplicity and the consistency of the use of a main brick over many different buildings, with different scales, geometries and configurations in order to tie the development together. There is an economy of means that should be celebrated.
