Build Better and Build Beautiful

In the lead up to our annual conference, Vision 2020, and as part of our accompanying series of guest blogs Ed Warner, the founder of Motionspot, has written for us about the guiding principles of housebuilding for the 2020s.

When the former housing minister, Robert Jenrick, announced his plans for 2020, his guiding principle was “Build better, build beautiful”. What does this mean and how can we put it into practice?

In this piece to coincide with the launch of Home of 2030 competition this week, Ed Warner lays out principles of good design and accessibility that will ensure that we build houses that are suitable for all.
