The Northshore Development Partnership, a joint venture between Urban Splash and Muse Developments, has today launched the “Make me a Home” international architecture competition, challenging architects to shape the future of family housing. 

The competition, organized by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), invites architects to raise the bar and deliver a new housing typology at Northshore, a £300m redevelopment scheme in Stockton-on-Tees.

It is planned that 250 family homes will eventually stand at the site, and the partners want creativity and a concept which will break the mould.

This is an RIBA International Architecture Competition and a notice has been placed in the European Journal (OJEU). The competition is open to registered architects or designers in collaboration with other design disciplines.

The “Make me a Home” competition will run from Friday 26 September to 12 noon on 1 December 2008. The shortlisting process will take place during January and the overall winner is expected to be announced in February 2009.
