ABA WINS HOUSING DESIGN AWARD FOR URBAN SPLASH TRIBECA DEVELOPMENT


Alison Brooks Architects' three landmark buildings for the Tribeca development in Liverpool have won
a 2008 Housing Design Project Award.

ABA’s scheme forms part of the 5 acre Urban Splash development, believed to be Liverpool's largest ever
residential project. The scheme will act as a beacon at the southern end of Great George Street, at the foot
of the world renowned Anglican Cathedral designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. ABA’s buildings, which received
planning permission in December 2007, will hold spacious apartments, roof terraces and colonnaded
commercial space at street level.

The judges commented: ' It's a brave architect who squares up to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's Anglican Cathedral
in Liverpool with a cluster of buildings of vigour, but ABA have taken on the challenge with their gateway
to the Tribeca development...'
