PRP Unveils New Design Concepts For Housing Families In Cities

Created on 24.10.2006

Barry Munday, chairman, PRP: “Designing for families at high densities does require a different approach and there are real difficulties of mixing tenure and the effects on value and management. The winning design sought to utilise building depth to the best advantage whilst other designs really sought to cater to new lifestyles, such as the increase in home working. The bottom line however is a common thread which ran throughout - the need for adequate space both indoors and outside, ironic when you realise that current space standards are actually being reduced. We want to take some of these new design concepts to our clients because the winning designs really show a balance between innovation and practical delivery.”
