Home of 2030 Competition Winner Announced

The winners of the Home of 2030 competition have been announced.

Launched in March 2020, and managed by the RIBA, the competition encourages the design of environmentally friendly homes that support people in leading independent, fulfilling lives as our society ages.

It proposes varying densities of houses and apartments, with a variety of site configurations, vertical heights, external appearances and internal layouts that can be adapted to respond to changing occupant needs.

The winners and other shortlisted teams will now be invited to meet Homes England’s development partners to discuss their ideas further.
