Designed by Riches Hawley Mikhail Architects, Clay Field Sustainable Housing provides 26 sustainable dwellings in the Suffolk village of Elmswell.

The Jury Panel were particularly impressed by the layout, their emphasis on real sustainability in the use of design and materials and the successful way in which they incorporated elements of traditional Suffolk architecture.

The 26 affordable houses were completed in November 2008 and are now fully occupied.
