    Abstract

    Housing Scheme won in RIBA Competition 2008 Housing Design Project Award 2016 An RIBA competition winning scheme by Riches Hawley Mikhail. 102 affordable homes are to be provided in the centre of Norwich. The project is set to be the largest Passivehaus Scheme in the UK. The original intention was to sell the site to a local housing provider and the design team agreed beforehand. The development had been on hold since the financial crash. However, the City has now decided to develop the site itself, without a housing association or development partner. With approximately 100 new homes being provided, with about 50 individual houses, and 50 flats, this represents a significant new departure for the City.
