Intimate Infrastructure

“At a time of increasing change, we believe that we need to rethink established industry models to address contemporary city challenges and to accommodate 21st century patterns of life. We propose putting people’s needs at the heart of the process in order to deliver the types of homes that meet current and changing demands and to create the types of places people want to live in”

The Intimate Infrastructure concept was selected by the Mayor of London and New London Architecture as a winner in an international competition for innovative proposals to help solve the housing crisis in 2015.

“Whilst the links between urban design, housing and people’s well-being, happiness and quality of life is complex and can be hard to measure, our lives are profoundly shaped and impacted by our environments. Our cities have a powerful influence on the way we move, behave and feel. For high density environments, the qualities of a place become even more critical in order to avoid mass housing delivered as monolithic, uniform blocks, at worst leading to generic, homogenous, bland and perhaps even “soul-less” environments.”
