The first-ever Gindroz Symposium on Affordable Housing will bring together past and present Gindroz Award recipients for a half-day symposium in New York City on the afternoon of Saturday, November 8th, 2025 at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s national headquarters at 20 West 44th Street. The program will begin with a discussion with representatives from the Duchy of Cornwall, Cornwall Council, and ADAM Architecture on the development and implementation of Nansledan, the recipient of the 2025 Gindroz Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing.Following, these presenters will be joined by past Award recipients—including the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara and Union Studio—on a panel to discuss the future of the design of communities with affordable housing. The program will close with a ceremony and reception to celebrate Nansledan as the 2025 Gindroz Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing winner.
Nansledan is a 540-acre extension to the city of Newquay, located on Cornwall’s north coast. Led and managed by the Duchy of Cornwall and inspired by HM King Charles III’s vision for English urban development, Nansledan is a sustainable mixed-use community comprising walkable neighborhoods with homes, shops, offices, schools, restaurants, and recreation. Nansledan was selected by the Gindroz Award panel for its deep commitment to providing affordable housing while placing people and environmental impact at the center of the design process.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ is grateful for the longstanding support of the Muse Family Foundation for making the Gindroz Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing possible, and to Suzanne Santry and Russell Windham for providing additional support.
