A pair of up-and-coming artists have scooped thousands of pounds after winning a competition to design sculptures for a new sheltered housing scheme.
Oliver Place and Naya Eleftheriou-Passaris, both students at Wimbledon College of Art, have won £3,000 each after creating installations to stimulate residents at the flats for older people in north London.
A spokesman for the Merton Hall Road college said Place's stainless steel pyramid - called Settlement - created a monument to the new community. The other winning entry is Eleftheriou-Passaris' Dreaming of Blue Skies, a collection of primary-coloured acrylic shapes in the centre of the scheme's main building.
The sculptures have been installed at the Hill Homes development in Highgate.
