ISG Jackson - Skinners Court development takes prestigious
Evening Standard Award
ISG Jackson is celebrating after the recently completed Skinners
Court ExtraCare housing scheme in Enfield, North London, took top
honours in the prestigious Evening Standard ‘New Homes Awards’. The
project beat the strong competition in the ‘Best New Development
(Affordable)’ category to land the prestigious industry accolade
within the housing sector.
The Evening Standard awards recognise excellence across the entire
housing spectrum, from the latest luxury homes and best conversions,
to the best apartment and small development. Industry judges used a
wide range of criteria to score each development, including design
flair, eco-friendliness, innovation, quality of finish and use of
space, and the Skinners Court scheme was ultimately judged to be
best in class.
The judges commented that ‘despite being in a very busy part of
London, Skinners Court is quiet and has a very relaxed atmosphere’.
Facilities were also judged to be excellent and were ‘in a
beautifully designed development that would be an asset to the local
area’. One of the panel also added that it was clear that Skinners
Court had ‘been created with the residents in mind – a building that
comes from the heart’.
The ExtraCare housing facility, which is run by the Skinners’
Company, one of the ‘Great Twelve’ livery companies of the City of
London, provides 48 purpose-built apartments for elderly residents.
The building features an impressive range of communal amenities,
including an in-house grocery store, hairdressing and beauty salon,
health suite and a high specification cinema and café bar.
Skinners Court represents the latest generation of high quality
‘home for life’ accommodation schemes and has been tailored to the
specific needs and requirements of its residents, providing flexible
and intelligently designed space that promotes independent living
within a supportive infrastructure. The ExtraCare model of support
is based around facilities that have been designed to provide
progressive levels of support for residents as and when they might
require it.
Bernard Clarke, managing director of ISG Jackson, commented:
"Recognition for the Skinners Court development at the highest
industry levels genuinely reflects the hard work, enthusiasm and
commitment of our project team to deliver outstanding results on
site. ISG Jackson remains at the forefront of innovation within this
rapidly expanding sector, working closely with our clients to
develop schemes that provide attractive, safe and stimulating
environments for residents.”
