The Housing Design AwardsThe Housing Design Awards are promoted by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in partnership with the National House-Building Council, the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Royal Town Planning Institute.
They are presented annually for projects or completed schemes of four or more dwellings which reflect the highest standards in housing design.
The last ten years have seen a significant shift towards diversity in housing, away from the rigid categories employed in earlier years.
Housing Design Awards category entries should be sent in now for projects or completed schemes in England consisting of a minimum of four dwellings. Schemes may include either new build or conversion and improvement, or a combination of both.
Developments may consist of houses, bungalows, maisonettes, or flats, or any combination of these. Schemes including non-residential uses may be entered, provided housing constitutes the main element.
Although some shared domestic facilities are allowed, for example, in housing for the elderly or disabled, or in shared flats for student accommodation, schemes such as nursing homes would not be eligible.
Closing deadline for entries is 01 April 2005.
