Bellway’s Fielders Quarter West Circus development at Barking Riverside has received a prestigious national industry award.

The project won the prize for Best Design for Four Storeys or More at the 2025 Housebuilder Awards.

The 229-home development is the fourth phase of Bellway’s Fielders Quarters development, where the homebuilder is delivering more than 2,000 homes as part of the wider Barking Riverside neighbourhood.

It was recognised for the exceptional design of its visually appealing, modern and accessible homes, set within a development that prioritises community, biodiversity and sustainability.

David Burns, Managing Director of Bellway’s Barking Project Team, said: “Bellway is playing a major role in the creation of this modern and thriving riverside community on the north bank of the Thames.

“While the overall development may be huge in scale, we have never lost sight of the importance of creating smaller and distinctive neighbourhoods within the wider project which provide an attractive place for residents to live.

“Fielders Quarter West Circus, with its emphasis on architectural variety, sustainable design, community and retail facilities, is a prime example of this and we’re delighted that our commitment to placemaking at Barking Riverside has been recognised with this prestigious award.”

Fielders Quarter West Circus comprises six apartment buildings ranging from three to nine storeys in height and featuring a variety of architectural styles, as well as two rows of three-storey townhouses lining a central neighbourhood street.

The apartment buildings at the development include space for two cafes or restaurants and two shops, while residents also have access to the gym and Work Hub at Fielders Quarter. Public open space is provided in the form of a linear park which runs along the northern boundary of the development, and more than 1,600 square metres of biodiverse roofing has been created to support wildlife habitats.

Sustainability is built into the design of Fielders Quarter West Circus. Homes are heated by an environmentally friendly district heat network and served by an innovative automated vacuum waste collection system, both of which are helping to reduce carbon emissions.

Barking Riverside is a major residential development and placemaking project, which is transforming the former Barking Power Station site on the north bank of the River Thames into a new community comprising thousands of new homes.

Leigh Johnson, Managing Director at Barking Riverside Limited (BRL), said: “We’re delighted to see Bellway’s homes at Fielders Quarter West Circus at Barking Riverside win Best Design for Four Storeys or More. As one of our key plot developer partners, Bellway plays a vital role in helping us bring forward high-quality homes at scale and delivering a thriving, growing community – both key aspects of Barking Riverside’s long-term vision.

“As master developer, BRL provides a clear framework and robust design standards that enable delivery at pace, while maintaining the quality and ambition expected across the Barking Riverside project. This award is a reflection of the high-quality design coming forward on-site, and of the strong partnerships that continue to drive progress across one of London’s most exciting new neighbourhoods.”
