The ’Infinite House’, a set of contemporary housing prototypes designed by Openstudio Architects, has won Taylor Wimpey’s Project 2020 Open Design competition.

By 2018, Taylor Wimpey wants to be in a position to build a range of housing prototypes that are distinctive, aspirational, innovative, pragmatic, cost-effective, land-effective, and capable of high-quality production with design appeal to its future customers.

Openstudio Architects’ Infinite House prototypes are designed to offer maximum flexibility, customisation and cost efficiency, and to maximise levels of natural light and the perception of space. The Infinite House’s external envelope allows it to adapt to suit different contexts without appearing to be a repeated house type, while still maintaining the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of prototyping and serial fabrication.
