Housing is a Verb

Terrace design winners – Other Architects, NMBW Architecture Studio, TARN, Winsor Kerr, Andy Fergus and Tony Isaacson

Artist's impression of a modern, 2-storey home with a corrugated iron roof. The house has large windows and doors, and a native garden.

The design reimagines terrace housing as a flexible, modular set-up with multiple options for internal room planning to suit personal preferences.

It starts with a basic home that can be expanded with extra floors or separate buildings as needed and as budget allows. Outdoor areas are a top priority, featuring plenty of sunlight, fresh air and green spaces.

The design shows how terrace housing can be easily adapted for diverse households.
