The awards continue to highlight the vital role Scotland’s housing sector plays in creating places where people can live, work and thrive. From private developments and affordable housing projects to large-scale regeneration initiatives, this year’s winners demonstrated excellence in design, sustainability, customer experience and community benefit.
