Special Report - Pitman Tozer Architects on "Good Homes for All"

Interviewed shortly before the launch of “Good Homes for All”, the report by Architects' Action for Affordable Housing, Founder Member Luke Tozer of Pitman Tozer Architects, sets out his concern that good design might be neglected in the rush to build more homes. Luke also highlights the challenges of meeting promises to deliver on schedule, how disappointment can impact the trust that local communities have in the development process, and the need to change the adversarial culture of development.

Based in Westminster as a resident and practice, Luke sets out what he loves about the place and how he’d like to see that reflected in the evolving built environment – including the Tulip Cycle Wands being trialled at Sussex Gardens.
