Winners have been chosen for the Perfect Orkney House Design Competition which came to a close on Friday July 30.
Orkney Islands Council’s Development Planning and Regeneration Team ran the competition, which asked school children to design what they felt was an ideal house for Orkney, to help launch a consultation on the Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance ‘The Design of Housing in the Orkney Countryside’.
The consultation on this guidance runs until September 19 with copies of the guidance available on the Council website www.orkney.gov.uk.
The prize winners in each age group are:
5-7 years:
1st Harvey Rendall
2nd John Moar
8-11 years:
1st Freya Johnston
2nd Ilona Foubister
12-16 years:
1st Bill Armstrong – Mortlock
2nd Jake Houston
Prizes can be collected from the Development Planning and Regeneration team tent at the Dounby and County Shows later this month, where the winning entries will be on display. There will also be sweeties provided at the tent for everyone who entered.
The team would like to thank all entrants for their hard work and imaginative designs. There was a very high standard of entry from all age groups and it was a difficult task to choose winners. Well done!
