Avanti Architects has been closely involved in housing for over 20 years. We work with commercial developers, housing associations, local authorities and private clients for a wide range of new buildings, conversion projects and the restoration of a significant number of listed buildings.

These schemes comprise private houses, apartment buildings and houses for special needs groups. We have also designed for many different forms of tenure: housing for sale, fair rent, market rent, shared ownership and housing co-operatives.

Our design aims for legible layouts and clear separation of private and public space. We plan entrances and internal circulation spaces with a clarity that allows natural supervision and provides safety. By creating a set of relaxed, well proportioned volumes which can be readily adapted we intend to maximise the feeling of space in even the tightest situations.

We aim to design buildings that are simple to construct and easy to maintain. We welcome the greater use of prefabricated building to deliver buildings faster and to raise standards of energy conservation.
