Bigger, Better, Cheaper

The United Kingdom has long been known for having some of the smallest homes in Europe along with the most expensive and poorly built. 

​

Our research series is split into four chapters, each looking at the major issues facing our housing industry. Most people will agree we need Bigger, Better and Cheaper homes but is it achievable? 

 

The chapters look to explore what is possible trying to find tangible solutions. The final chapter Counterbalance Homes provides examples of home layouts that implement our recommendations.
