Design A Truly, Life-Time Home
Instead of being dictated by 'the house', this speculative housing expand and contracts as you move through various stages of life, and ultimately allows for an intergenerational dwelling, where the restrictions around the ridiculous bedroom tax are circumvented as pensioners sublet their upper level unit(s) to students and families, maximising the utilisation of the housing stock on site.

A Transformation of the Lifetime Home from a First Time Buyer to Retired Individuals
From A Young Couple to the Young-Old
Developed in phases, the Super-Able Housing adapts to the various stages in our journeys of life. Instead of placing 2 20 storey tower blocks that become completely disconnected to the urban grain of Peckham (as proposed by the council in 2016), an alternative is possible.

SUPER-ABLE HOUSING, CIC
With an ageing population expected to rise by 46% in 2029, the requirements of a rapidly shifting demographic applied on the NHS, social infrastructure and the built environment must be addressed. Sited in Peckham, this masterplan tackles London’s ageing demographic and shortage of public housing by promoting socio-physical wellbeing and community cohesion through an integrated Agricultural Social enterprise. Through the
introduction of co-owned urban agriculture plots and planting regimes which put emphasis on a Mediterranean Diet, various health complications are reduced as our average longevity increases. Key to the proposal is the development of a ‘Lifetime Home’ which adapts to the four lifestages that evolve to suit the needs of the developing family and ultimately, the Young-Old.
