news AWARDS SHORTLIST
The 2015 Sunday Times British Homes Awards shortlists announced
“It gives me great pleasure to launch the design brief for ‘Homes for Britain’ – the 2015 Sunday Times British Homes Awards. The competition has a long track record of producing cutting-edge designs of real excellence and innovation across a broad range of categories. This year’s competition, which challenges architects and designers to produce a standard house type suitable for Garden City type developments, with a focus on innovative designs which are both buildable and replicable, promises to continue in that vein. In the UK we have some of the most innovative and creative architects and designers in the world, and I have no doubt the competition will produce new ideas for homes which are of practical and lasting benefit”. The Rt. Hon. Brandon Lewis MP Housing Minister
Challenging convention and inspiring innovation The British Homes Awards have been pivotal in providing a catalyst for change in the way we design and construct our homes and in the process recognise, endorse and showcase exemplars of best practice.
The “Homes for Britain” Challenge
The 2015 Sunday Times British Homes Awards design competition invited submissions for designs for a standard house type suitable for planned Garden City developments, constructed with H+H UK’s aircrete building materials. The British Homes Awards have established a successful

involvement with the Government sponsored AIMC4 initiative (Application of Innovative Materials to meet Code Level 4) H+H UK have evidenced the benefits of masonry construction in terms of the enhanced energy performance of the building fabric. Building on this trialled research the specification of
aircrete masonry was mandatory within the 2015 competition submission to demonstrate that modern, efficient, aesthetic and practical house designs are eminently feasible with masonry. It is expected that the successful design submissions will form
the blueprint for the UK’s future housing stock and it is intended that the winning design, subject to a full build feasibility study, will be evaluated as a prototype house type for key high density new build sites by one of the UK’s premier and most enlightened homebuilders, Redrow.
