The Partners
The goal of the Home of 2030 project is to propose practical ideas for affordable homes that work for all age groups and are sustainable over the long term. Through the design and delivery competition and dialogue with industry and consumers, the consortium will enable production of a range of design solutions for mainstream adoption. The partners in the programme have been chosen specifically to ensure the right expertise is available to deliver the project successfully. Our proposed approach builds upon a foundation of the world-leading research, knowledge base, connections and expertise.
