LILAC have appointed White Design as our architects to design our neighbourhood. They have quickly started an exciting process of workshops with the members and provisional members.

Frances Lee said “There were many architects we could have chosen, but we have been particularly impressed by their experience, knowledge and approach. They are the leaders in designing timber-frame buildings with straw infill, using Modcell panels. We have had a competitive price for this which will reliable and quickly deliver us affordable and sustainable housing.” The Times were quick to pick up on this in a recent article: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7130995.ece

Over the summer LILAC are working with White Design on the site layout, internal designs, the Common House and an environmental strategy. To whet your appetite of what the Common House could be like, have a look at this series of pictures from Denmark:

We still have 12 homes available. It is not too late to join LILAC as member and take part in the process. Contact us for more information on 0789 080 9143 or email info@lilac.coop
