PCKO Architects is one of seven finalists selected for the Lifetime Homes, Lifetime Neighbourhoods Competition
The competition challenges architects to rethink the design of homes that comply with and surpass Lifetime Homes Standards at the same time demonstrating attention to environmental and resource issues.
PCKO's submission, 'Light Gallery House', is an architectural concept that goes beyond a tick box mentality of standards and regulation, creating a framework of spaces that will offer a truly flexible and adaptable home for life. The design philosophy challenges the preconceptions of the typical housing which is prescriptive in terms of life style and use of space. These spaces for living - each of which can be used for relaxing, working, eating, sleeping, playing, entertaining and celebration can support a diversity of change, occupancy, mobility and cultural preferences over time.
The short-list of the 7 designs was featured in The Mail on Sunday 19 July 2009 in order for the readership to vote for the winning design.
