About this title

Synopsis

The house is the most life changing and most expensive product that people will own in their lifetime. Despite the fact that modern lifestyle requirement has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, however, UK houses remain amongst the unchanged, smallest, uncharacteristic, energy inefficient and most expensive in Europe. This study provides evidence showing the negative impact of building small houses to include overcrowding, unhealthy and unsustainable developments. Furthermore, replication of the old design and lack of innovation in modern design becomes a trend and resulted in that, only 1 in 4 people prefer to live in new built houses (RIBA 2013). Initially, this study provide an insight into many problems associated with new houses built in the last 20 years, in term of small spaces, recycled form design, cost, lack of architectural characteristic, marketing difficulties and scarcity of accommodating modern life requirements. Subsequently, addressing most of the factors affected the design aspect, such as land price, housing shortage, role of Green Belt, environmental and energy agenda, mind-set and public involvement in the design process.
