Camden Design Awards

A selection of Camden Design Awards 2025 entries are curated in this Neighbourhood Collection, providing a fantastic opportunity to visit varied projects of the highest quality in Camden.
The Camden Design Awards 2025 celebrate and reward excellent design that has been delivered in Camden in the last three years. Over 30 projects were shortlisted for the awards this year, many of which have won other built environment awards, showing the impressive calibre of development across the borough. The entries feature projects across all sectors of the built environment, and include community spaces co-designed by young people, social housing, exemplar office retrofits, rear extensions and public realm schemes. The awards display how excellent design can create places that enrich the lives of all who live, work, and visit Camden.

Maitland Park exemplifies sustainable, community-centric design, setting new benchmarks for healthy living environments. As Camden Council’s first project to achieve a Home Quality Mark accreditation, its design promotes wellbeing by integrating new, fully accessible, and adaptable homes and a new community hall into an enhanced parkland setting, encouraging connection with nature.
