Our research into the potential for utilising new technology and
high-performance materials to build energy efficient housing resulted in
the Advanced Technology Housing (ATH) concept; a new prototype for high
density, urban living.
The ultimate objective of this concept is to make the central city once
again an attractive place to live and to exploit brown-field sites currently
considered marginal for conventional developments.
The ATH concept can accommodate a variety of dwelling sizes but notably
addresses the growing demand for smaller housing units which comprise as
much as 80% of the projected housing need. It is anticipated that such
an approach could incorporate a high level of factory fabrication to enable
rapid site work and improved quality.
Sponsored by Otis, the ATH design was awarded a UNESCO bronze medal.
