Housing

2021

Y2 BSc, supervised by Ed Green, WSA

Site is located in Langland Bay, Swansea. Aim to provide affordable housing for retired people who don’t want to live alone in a large house nor want to live in a care home (in between house) through achieving net-zero emissions via Passivhaus design, co-housing scheme for retired people who love the outdoors. Aim to create a design with sensitivity for the residents and their abilities, ultimately giving them independence.

There are 1,800 complaints from the wider community about the existing planning proposal for the site, I believe that trying to alter the view to the sea and the landscape as much as possible will improve their opinions on any development.
