DSA Dominic Stevens wins IAF Housing Unlocked
Published:
''Our proposal Home4Community is quiet yet innovative, radical yet ordinary.
The Housing Crisis will not be solved by one new magical idea, it will be solved by a careful assemblage of the things we know already: The means to solve the housing crisis already exists.
Homes for people in our society are created through a complex mesh of operations and agencies – The ‘Housing System’. As architects we have existing working relationships with home owners, developers, building contractors, timber frame manufacturers, housing associations, and co-operatives.
With these stakeholders we have analysed each part of this system, re-used the functioning pieces, discarded many of the less than useful orthodoxies, added a piece of innovative design in the form of the 'Home4Community' and arrived at a straightforward method to deliver varied, wonderful, and affordable homes in well-designed neighbourhoods.''
