Old stock: Refurbishing existing housing In partnership with the Gentoo Group and the National Refurbishment Centre, the 2010 British Homes Awards design competition went retro, challenging architects to submit innovative retrofit solutions for a terrace of four houses in Sunderland. The five designs short-listed will inspire the energy efficient refurbishment of our existing homes and the winner, “Green for life“ by Hess Kincaid Leach, as voted by Daily Telegraph readers, was an- nounced at the 2010 RIBA Stirling Prize.
The British Homes Awards: Leading by example
Championing design excellence The British Homes Awards have been pivotal in providing a catalyst for change in the creation of our new homes. The entries for the Home for the Future design competition in 2007 demonstrated that zero carbon housing is not only achievable but can also be aspirational. Voted the competition winner, the Gaunt
Francis Architects designed Green House was built by Barratt Developments as the first Code Level 6 home from a major housebuilder with the potential for mass production that would qualify for stamp duty exemption. As a showcase for new technology, new sys-
tems and materials, which collectively meet the highest level six of the Government’s Code, a sig- nificant legacy can be anticipated for the Barratt Green House.
New ground: AIMC4 Gaining leverage from the experience gained by partners to the British Homes Awards, the TSB has committed to a ground-breaking £6.4 million programme to build 12 world-class energy- efficient homes that achieve Code Level 4 without using renewable energy technologies. This unique project – entitled ‘AIMC4’ – will
take a ‘fabric-first’ approach to the construction of the new homes, with the aim of achieving a 44 per cent reduction in carbon emissions. Leading developers Crest Nicholson, Barratt Developments and Stewart Milne Group are now working in partnership with H+H UK Ltd, BRE and Oxford Brookes University to evaluate three different construction types – one timber, one ma- sonry and a third hybrid option – each capable of longer-term volume delivery.
The Daily Telegraph British Homes Awards 2011 Backed by the Daily Telegraph, the UK’s best sell- ing quality daily newspaper with a daily readership of approaching 2 million of which 86 per cent are ABC1, the 2011 British Homes Awards invite entries from home builders, developers, archi- tects, landscape and interior designers.
Tomorrow’s townhouse Additionally, and in partnership with The New Homes Marketing Board, FutureForm and RIBA, the annual design competition calls for a sustain- able and innovative townhouse, with the objective of building on the successful legacies of the clas- sic Regency and Georgian terraces to create the 21st
century equivalents. The designs submitted must embrace Future-
Form’s innovative light gauge steel, volumetric, energy-efficient modular construction system, the flexibility of which is best exemplified by the out- standing CUB House, recently opened at the BRE Innovation Park. To supplement the inherent thermal efficiency
of FutureForm’s modular units, architects are encouraged to specify renewable heat technology and home energy management systems. The panel of Judges, chaired by Sunand Prasad PPRIBA, senior partner Penoyre & Prasad LLP, will select a shortlist of up to ten deliverable schemes that will be presented to The Daily Telegraph readers for their vote. The winning design will then be built as a
prototype and it is planned that it will be built as one of the Show House exhibits at the Ideal Home Show 2012.
The awards presentation All award winning and commended schemes will be announced at a black-tie event in front of 500 guests at the London Marriott, Grosvenor Square on Thursday 22nd
