SECBE

We’re thrilled to reveal that the winner of the Building Project of the Year Under £20M category at this year’s SECBE Awards is Acklam Road, submitted by HNW Architects! 🏆

Acklam Road sets a new standard for delivering sustainable, safe, and community-led housing in complex urban environments. Situated next to the elevated Westway dual carriageway, the scheme overcomes significant spatial and environmental challenges. Creative design solutions maximise light and space while mitigating noise and air pollution. A striking brickwork pattern, inspired by the adjacent Al Manaar Cultural Heritage Centre, reflects the character of the local neighbourhood and roots the development in its setting.

👏 Huge congratulations – your dedication and impact inspire the entire built environment community.

Acklam Road is a standout development in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s New Homes Programme. Delivering 32 high-quality homes and flexible community space on a constrained brownfield site, it combines thoughtful design with robust sustainability and social value. With an extremely challenging site location, the Acklam Road team delivered an outstanding project in relation to both fire safety, sustainability and community impact and are deserving winners in the category.

The team's commitment to the safety and wellbeing of operatives came through as a significant driving factor, and core to the value delivered by the project.
