HDA writes:
The Housing Design Awards’ original purpose was to explain what residents think about innovative design and whether it can be replicated. This continues 74 years later.
LONGEST RUNNING AWARDS
Launched in 1948 in the same sitting of Parliament as the NHS to reward better municipal post-war rebuilding, then opened up to market sale homes in 1960 by Harold Macmillan.
INDUSTRY RECOGNITION
The only Awards promoted by all 5 major professional institutions – RICS, RIBA, RTPI, Landscape Institute and Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists.
CROSS DISCIPLINARY PANEL
Experts in their field, from planning to design, respected here in the UK and overseas.
EXPOSURE AND INVESTMENT
Entry income is spent on assessment, then on showcasing ideas to government and industry though the website, not on ‘gala’ dinners. Industry experts, government officials and enthusiasts make up our select judges.
