Space to Grow is an E2 response to an open competition brief launched by Wates Giving and in collaboration with the RIBA entitled ''Housing for a Private Rental Market''. The competition aims to explore the growing demand for specifically designed privately rented suburban neighbourhood developments. The submission was judged to be in the top 25 internationally. The concept ‘Space to Grow’ applies at all scales across a 10 hector suburban site, from the large array of interconnected community spaces and the pedestrian focused ‘homezones’ to the multi-functional nature of the residential units themselves. The focus is to provide a community for life, where homes remain functional through changing demands and diverse neighbourhoods have the accommodation and amenities available to facilitate (and therefore maintain) families over generations. The result is a sustainable community dynamic, sustainable infrastructure and affordable rental property of exceptional quality.
