Home of 2030 finalists announced

Yesterday the government announced the 6 finalists of the Home of 2030 design competition. The Housing LIN's Jeremy Porteus was privileged to be one of the judges which will see further advances in sustainable, low-carbon and age-friendly homes for our future living, from small scale innovations to large scale developments utilising modern methods of construction. He said:

"Over the last 10 years we have seen how some in the building industry have adopted the HAPPI design principles and become leaders in their field. But with a considerable under-supply of new housing, aligned with climate change and our ageing population, I now want to see these principles mainstreamed so that within 10 years they are the norm for all new buildings. I am therefore really excited about how this competition can be a catalyst for change for our housing market."
