- Title
Customised 'Care-Ready' Living: A HAPPI-Inspired Design for Evolutionary Housing by Walter Menteth Wren Architects.
- Authors
Menteth, Walter
- Abstract
In 2013, Walter Menteth Architects entered the 2013 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Re-imagine Ageing Design Competition with an entry that focused on the delivery of customised housing to suit individual specifications. Here Walter Menteth, a director of the practice, describes the research the office undertook as part of the project and how it led to a solution that radically questioned the current procurement process for development-led retirement housing by proposing a new, distinctively 'branded' delivery vehicle that improves access to consumers while expanding buyer choice and engagement.
