The judges deemed Brooks' contribution to housing design particularly worthy of celebration at a time when housing delivery in the UK had dropped to its lowest levels since the 1920's.

Brooks said it was an award shared by every "unsung" housing architect who has been quietly fighting for good design to prevail.

"It's hugely important for us to have won this award after many years of very hard work and commitment to the cause of good housing design," she said.
