THE JUDGES' REPORT

Standon Mill, Hertfordshire – Environment Award

'The right environment is even more crucial than ever in today’s hectic lifestyle. Our living environment should allow us to get things done as well as to relax, and should participate in a locale without over-changing it. The winner of Hotproperty’s 2005 Environment Award for apartments managed to cover all bases: they provide much needed homes, impose as little as possible and ultimately improve their surroundings.'
