Overview
The Design and Technical teams are involved in all aspects of housing design and innovation, and this team is responsible for researching the best materials at the best cost. In terms of design, there’s the sheer variety of our sites, many of them using existing buildings with unique problems to solve. There’s also the question of new materials and our drive for sustainability and value, all in the face of ever changing building and environmental legislation.
