“For us to be shortlisted for this award, alongside other big names, like Herbal Essences, the Dubai Police and the Disabled Sailors Association, is fantastic.

“It really is a testament to the exceptional hard work and commitment of our team.

Throughout the entire design process, we focused on the philosophy of inclusion and equality because everyone should have their dream home and Freedom allows people to have that.”
