  • Placemaking & social interaction opportunities
  • Access to outdoor space designed to encourage and enable activities to support social connectivity, health and well-being
  • Planning of spaces and services that enable re-configuration over time
  • Accommodating a variety of uses
  • Accessible and adaptable design, in the context of the Government’s forthcoming review of the Building Regulations for Part M: Access to and use of buildings

Phase Two
  • Fabric and system efficiency attributes
  • Anticipated performance in-use
  • Template for material efficiency and whole life carbon reduction
