Connector Housing and +Home announced as joint winners of Home of 2030 design competition

Joint winners of the Home of 2030 design competition were announced last December by the Rt Hon Christopher Pincher MP, Minister of State for Housing: Connector Housing designed by Openstudio with G&T, Hoare Lea, LDA Design and Engineers HRW and +Home designed by igloo Regeneration with Useful Projects, Expedition Engineers and Mawson Kerr.

Connector Housing uses a framework which can generate an almost infinite choice of housing design - from different mixes of houses and apartments to external appearances and internal layouts.  The 'Connector' is a flexible unit which can accommodate stairs, a lift, shared communal or workspaces, storage and direct access to communal gardens from upper level apartments.  The external envelopes of the base unit and loft are consistent but internal layouts are flexible and can be adapted in response to changing occupant needs.
