St Andrew’s Drive Phases 2 and 3 in Pollokshields has been named on the shortlist for the 2026 Neave Brown Award for Housing, presented annually by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

Designed by jmarchitects, the development delivers 120 affordable homes through a mix of stacked maisonettes, apartments and terraced housing arranged around shared green space.

Neave Brown, after whom the award is named, was a modernist housing architect, best known for a series of housing estates in and around Camden in North London. In 2018, he was awarded the UK’s highest honour for architecture, the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, which was approved personally by Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II.

The Neave Brown Award shortlist is selected from the winners of the 2026 RIBA UK Awards. RIBA said the four shortlisted projects “demonstrate how affordable and social housing can combine architectural excellence and sustainable interventions to create lasting value for communities”.

The Glasgow development is shortlisted, alongside Canada Water Plot K1 in London, Lion Green Road in Croydon, and another housing scheme in Haringey.

Jury chair Helen Lee, associate director at Witherford Watson Mann architects, said: “This year’s shortlist for the Neave Brown Award for Housing celebrates four exceptionally high-quality affordable housing projects built in the UK recently; each reflecting Neave Brown’s belief in community-focused and contextually responsive architecture.

“The jury deliberated for some time over a very strong pool of eligible projects but were unanimous in championing the shortlisted projects.

“From pavilions in a free-flowing park land in Coulsdon, to low carbon 100% affordable housing in Canada Water, new homes in Haringey which successfully tackle a difficult edge site, and a high-quality landscape led scheme in Glasgow; this year’s shortlisted projects each respond skilfully to the unique urban challenges of their sites, creating beautiful and enduring places to live, supporting communities to grow and evolve.”

Chris Williamson, RIBA president, said: “This year’s shortlisted projects demonstrate how high-quality affordable homes can meet both community needs and environmental ambitions. They also demonstrate the skill and care that architects bring to the Prime Minister’s aim of increasing the supply of great affordable housing.

“From urban regeneration and landscape-led design to low-carbon living and community-focused development, each scheme shows the positive impact good design can have on everyday life.”

The winner will be announced at the RIBA Stirling Prize ceremony on Thursday 15 October 2026 at Old Billingsgate in London.
