HSSP Architects are delighted to be behind two entries that have been shortlisted by the East Midlands Property Dinner Awards 2024. Celebrating the very best of the region’s property sector, these awards are THE annual social event.

The Wharf, Waterside Village, is a finalist for ‘Design Excellence Award’, with the finesse of Waterside Village being recognised with its shortlisting as ‘Construction Project of the Year’ for HSSP Architects and developer Solus Homes.

Waterside Village is a stunning 195 apartment complex development that has inspirationally transformed this end of Loughborough. It is a forward thinking gateway hub into the town which has joined the waterside area and railway station with the town centre, whilst facilitating neighbouring business expansion. It has reenergised the area and been a catalyst for change; the benefits to the local community are immeasurable and are a huge boost to the local economy.

The two modern complexes take inspiration from their historic ‘sister building’, The Mill, yet have their own modern identities. The industrial look of yesteryear was replicated by including exposed internal red brick work and detailing, high ceilings, large windows and metal columns. These have been complemented with stunning contemporary high-end features that impeccably unite elements of the past with modern fundamentals.

Sustainability is imperative, as it encompasses social, cultural and environmental considerations. The development very much encourages sustainable living in all aspects of residents’ lives, not just concentrating on the fabric of the building and its green credentials or energy usage.

The winners will be announced at the awards dinner on 5 September 2024 at the De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre.
