Housing Design Awards
Design for Homes runs an awards system each year. Backed by the Home Builders Federation, CABE, Design for Homes, English Partnerships, the Housing Corporation and the Civic Trust, the awards celebrate well designed homes and neighbourhoods. Have a look here for details of the winners in 2007.
The criteria for good schemes can be found here - a good test against which to judge all our schemes? The link includes details of what they describe as “great schemes”. This guide should be referred to when completing a Building for Life standard application. It can also be used by developers as a basis for writing development briefs, and by local authorities to demand high standards of design and assess design quality.
Suggestions from us for 2008 entries to Claire Bedford please - entries due in before the end of February.
