London House

National Winner. Designer: Nouvelle Development Corporation

This design is a perfect marriage of space and natural light with the practical concerns of adaptability and function. It can be built as a single-family detached, semi-detached or row house. It uses environmentally friendly materials. And it's barrier-free: the entrances, rooms and storage spaces are designed with accessibility and safety in mind for every member of the family, young and old.

With excellence, foresight and creativity, Nouvelle Development Corporation has set the standard for FlexHousing.
