How do you deliver quality family housing – and what does it look like?

GPAD Director Gareth Bansor and Nicholas Hugh Goddard from Arup sit down and discuss what it means to deliver family housing and how we should be exploring a variety of typologies to deliver essential family housing in our city centres. Should we be looking further afield for inspiration on successful family housing in city centres?

As part of the Homes England Framework – we have worked collaboratively alongside Sheffiled City Council, Homes England & ARUP to develop a masterplan for Furnace Hill and Neepsend within the former industrial heart of Sheffield.

As part of our work, GPAD has developed a suite of innovative residential typologies that could provide a variety of densities, mix and tenure whilst still set within the retained intimate historic streets and celebrated heritage assets. Working with our in-house passivhaus designer they were designed to deliver the highest residential quality and have the potential to be operational net zero.
