Forum Barreiro won the Best New Development (Small) category, with the awards jury describing the scheme as “a multi-functional centre that exemplifies urban regeneration, integration and modern creativity”.

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is about to embark on its largest and most important development to date; the construction of its new National Dog Breeding Centre near Warwick. Following three years in the design process and a two stage tender, the multi-million pound development starts on site this month. Designed by Broadway Malyan, the new facilities will increase capacity for breeding Guide Dog puppies from 1,110 to 1,550 per annum in accordance with the Guide Dogs strategic targets.
The National Breeding Centre comprises a series of gull-winged, glulam roofed, steel framed buildings situated around a central courtyard. These house discrete sections of the breeding dog population, from initial intake of dogs, mating, whelping, adults, puppies and essential associated dog care and welfare facilities. The buildings are set in specifically designed dog runs and landscaping, essential for the environmental enrichment and exercise for the dog population. Through sustainability targets set by Guide Dogs, the development will see a range of benefits including biomass boilers and rainwater harvesting.
The target completion date is Summer 2011.

Enfield Council has unveiled Broadway Malyan as one of four finalists in the contest to masterplan the huge 70ha Meridian Water development in north London
A mix of vacant plots, former gas works and industrial units, the waterside site close to the Lea Valley Regional Park will eventually house the 5,000 home ‘eco-community’, providing almost half the 11,000 homes the borough plans to build over the next 15 years.
Director of place-shaping and enterprise Sue Foster said: ‘This is very much a series of disconnected and tired [parcels of] land, which is seen as an ending to the residential communities around Edmonton. This contest is an opportunity for a new suburban exemplar, connecting into the surrounding areas, and creating an opportunity for new architectural forms. This needs to be a step change for Enfield in terms of quality.’
The finalists were all selected from the Homes and Communities Agency’s masterplanning procurement panel and a winner will be announced next month.
