ColladoCollins has partnered with top consultants to create Residential Design Guide
Identifying creative solutions to the London housing crisis
London architects ColladoCollins has launched the Residential Design Guide, an analysis of the housing market and response through efficient design.
G&T provided cost consultancy for the Guide that features a foreword by Sir Edward Lister, Chairman of the Homes and Community Agency and provides a holistic view of the sector. The Guide was written in partnership with town planning consultants DP9, developer consultants DS2 and sustainable design experts Twin & Earth.
In his introduction Sir Edward Lister advocates that through ‘the creative thought of practitioners, the objectives of quality, wellbeing and sustainability across the housing sectors and tenures is readily available.’ This is particularly important as modern day residential architecture is under more regulatory and standard restrictions than ever, meaning creativity amongst all stakeholders is essential whilst trying to design for people’s economic and social needs.
