This year's challenge is to design an innovative 'self build' starter home that can be constructed for less than £40,000. The home has to have one bedroom, a living room, kitchen and bathroom, and be capable of being easily expanded as the family grows. Later on, it could grow again to provide a multi-generational home, or contract as the family downsizes, or even be split into two.
The 2015 competition is free to enter and has been designed to showcase innovative designs that will provide an adaptable home that will last a family a lifetime. So, the focus is on delivering a ‘modular’ solution that can either be fully self built, or part-built in a factory (to provide a watertight shell) that the self builder can then finish it off.
The judges - who include Grand Designs TV presenter Kevin McCloud - will be looking for clever approaches and innovative use of materials to keep the costs down, and they also want the homes to be sustainable and attractive too.
