Bay flats fail to win design award
WEST Bay's controversial Quay West flats have failed to win a top design award.
The seafront homes development - condemned by some as a "monstrous carbuncle" - had been short-listed in a contest run by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors to recognise excellence in their industry.
The RICS' awards - announced today - celebrate and recognise "exemplary projects" across four categories - building conservation, regeneration, sustainability and community benefit.
The Quay West flats were finalists in the regeneration category but lost out to Great Bow Wharf in Langport, Somerset.
