Affordable 'pattern book' housing
Lifetime Homes
The home is designed to evolve as the needs of the inhabitants change; a range of options for simple future alterations are proposed, allowing the house to quickly adapt to changing family circumstances such as elderly relatives needing to move in, or the need for additional live-work space. In all cases, the generous living spaces, maximised storage space and energy performance make the home an attractive place to live.
Factors such as acoustic separation between living areas and bedrooms, accessibility and privacy are key drivers for the scheme, ensuring that the design is rigorous and spatially efficient. It is also important for the concept that the architecture outperforms current standards, and inconspicuously integrates energy production, conservation and water storage on a manageable scale.
