ARCHITECTS
CHALLENGED TO DESIGN TOMORROW'S LIFESTYLE HOME
In addition to recognising design excellence in specific categories, The
Mail on Sunday British Homes Awards provide an unrivalled
opportunity for architectural practices to showcase their
design vision for tomorrow's lifestyle home.
Sponsored by VELUX
and in association with its key partners, National
Centre for Excellence in Housing (a joint venture between
BRE (Building
Research Establishment) and NHBC),
BIDA (British
Interior Design Association), THINK08
(a new landmark in UK construction and property events) and
Real
Estate TV, entries for the British Homes Awards 2008 will
be invited for consideration within 12 Categories. In collaboration
with one of Britain’s most innovative house builders
and a recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise,
Crest Nicholson PLC, architects working with interior designers
will be invited to submit their own vision of tomorrow’s
Lifestyle Home.
The panel of Judges – again chaired by
celebrated Past President of RIBA, Michael Manser- will select
a short-list of 10 which will then be presented to the readers
of The Mail on Sunday to vote for the winning design which
will be built by Crest Nicholson at a site within the UK.
All the Award winning and commended schemes, together with
the winning scheme for tomorrow’s Lifestyle Home, will
be announced at a black-tie event in front of 500 guests in
London on Friday June 20.
“The Mail on Sunday British Homes Awards continue
to be pivotal in providing a catalyst for change in the way
we design and build our new homes. In achieving the highest
possible level in the new code for sustainable homes 2007’s
winner Green House sets the standards which others must match
if we are to deliver zero carbon new homes by 2016. This year’s
design competition moves the agenda forward as we look beyond
the fabric of the building to deliver sustainable homes and
communities”
Anna Scothern, Director, The National Centre for Excellence
in Housing.
