A housing association in Northern Ireland has won a Social Housing Scheme of the Year award for its supported living scheme Ballymisert on the Holywood Road in Belfast.

Triangle Housing scooped the prize at the 2016 Construction Excellence Awards in the Culloden Hotel in Holywood.

The supported living scheme was designed by McAdam Design (Belfast) and developed by Donaghmore Construction Ltd. It was developed for people who require support to manage their mental health, and includes 18 self-contained units and a four bed shared house. The scheme is managed in partnership with the Northern Ireland Association for mental Health (NIAMH).
