The UK’s housing challenge isn’t just about building more homes – it’s about building better ones.
For decades, volume delivery has been dominated by low-density, standardised suburban models that prioritise short-term profit over efficient land use and lasting places. That approach is no longer viable.
Architect-led housing offers a proven alternative. Far from being a luxury, good design is a practical tool that enables higher density without sacrificing quality. It enables higher density, better land use and creates places people actually want to live.
In partnership with Architects’ Action for Affordable Housing (@weareaa4ah), the AJ has launched Good Homes for All 2.0, building on the success of the first edition.
Featuring 15 examples, the guide explores healthier living environments, lower long-term public costs, reduced energy bills and carbon emissions and more durable, adaptable homes.
The takeaway? Intelligent density can deliver better streets, stronger communities and more sustainable outcomes.
The real question is no longer whether we can afford to prioritise design – but whether we can afford not to.

Andy Matthews Studio (@andymatthews.studio) has completed its first new build project- a 'modern take' on a cricket pavilion on Dulwich Common
The 250sqm timber-clad pavilion takes the familiar pitched-roof aesthetic and subverts it, splitting it in two with clerestory windows at ceiling level for natural ventilation and daylighting
The roof cantilevers over the front and back of the building to form canopies for shelter from the rain and sun, as well as a social threshold space
The building is externally clad in Japanese burnt larch and has a corrugated metal sheet roof, while the interior features exposed timber cladding

Wright & Wright's (@wright_and_wright) scheme for Oxford University college St Edmund Hall creates student accommodation to the highest sustainability standards, writes Fran Williams in our latest issue
The 4,600sqm Norham Gardens accommodation comprises three new residential buildings up to three storeys in height with prefabricated CLT structures
In response to the site's surrounding villas, the new buildings use red brick and feature gables, dormers, chimneys and steeply pitched rooms in abstracted forms
Designed to Passivhaus standards, the scheme is served by air-source heat pumps and is predicted to use up to 70 per cent less operational energy than a standard new-build benchmark

John McAslan + Partners (@johnmcaslanpartners) has completed its conversion of a former Victorian power station into a residential teaching facility for Oxford's business school
The project, won in an international competition in 2017, transforms the former Victorian Osney Power Station on a canalised stretch of the River Thames west of central Oxford.
The Saïd Business School’s Global Leadership Centre includes a large, triple-height convening space created from the former turbine hall and 120 bedrooms across three new floors concealed in the sheds for visiting executives.
It also includes flexible teaching and meeting spaces, a dining space, a library and a wellbeing facility, which includes a gym and a multipurpose exercise studio. A terrace overlooks the river.

Stanton Williams (@stanton_williams) has completed the first girls’ boarding houses at Winchester College, the 644-year-old private school in Hampshire
A pair of brick and timber blocks will house 120 female pupils. Together, the three-storey houses form the first boarding complex to be built at the college since 1912, and the first to be designed for female pupils.
Both new boarding houses are arranged around a central court, while an internal cloister links communal spaces such as living rooms, library, communal kitchens and music and activity rooms, to the dining hall pavilion that sits between the two houses
The 5,450m² houses are arranged to encourage ‘an open-learning philosophy, vigorous debate and the democratic exchange of ideas’, and each includes space for 20 day pupils to use

A 157-home local authority-commissioned housing scheme in south London, designed by @marydugganarc with @ruffarchitects, has won this year’s RIBA Stirling Prize
The five-block Lion Green Road development on the sloping site of a local authority-owned car park in Coulsdon, Croydon, was described by the judges as a ‘new kind of garden neighbourhood’.
The scheme had been William Hill’s outsider to scoop the UK’s top architecture prize with odds of 6/1.
Practice director Mary Duggan said, 'We believe the significance of Lion Green Road lies in what it says about the future of housing: that
architectural ambition, social value and generosity can co-exist within the realities of contemporary development.
Speaking on behalf of the Stirling jury, RIBA president Chris Williamson said: ‘At a time when we urgently need to deliver more homes, Lion Green Road shows that density can be achieved without compromising the quality of the places we create.

Carmody Groarke’s (@carmodygroarke) Design Museum Gent opened to the public at the start of the month
First revealed in 2019, the seven-year project, which extends and renews the Belgian museum, includes a new five-storey wing and a renewed museum experience covering 8,630 sqm. The London-based practice collaborated with local practice ATAMA (@atama_architects) and Belgian heritage specialist RE-ST (@restarchitecten)
The wing building sits on an unused 372 sqm piece of land next to the museum on Drabstraat, completing the fourth side of the museum’s courtyard.
Design Museum Gent occupies three buildings: Hotel de Coninck, an 18th-century town mansion; a wing built in 1992; and Huis Leten with a 16th-century core housing the museum’s offices. The new wing unites this existing complex of buildings.

Knowles Whittingham Architects (@knowles_whittingham) has completed the extension of a family house created from what was previously an artist’s studio.
The existing building, constructed within the grounds of a neighbouring Grade II-listed manor house, is located within the green belt and the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, presenting a sensitive planning context.
The new volume follows the simple gabled form of the original studio and completes one side of a historic courtyard.
Its form and materiality were developed to sit comfortably within the rural setting, with corrugated metal and timber cladding chosen for its semi-agricultural character, as well as providing a highly insulated building envelope. The palette of warm red tones is designed to respond to the existing studio and the natural colours of the surrounding landscape.

Amin Taha’s practice Groupwork (@groupwork_arch) has completed a 10-storey block of apartments in Hampstead with a completely loadbearing granite stone structure
The 3,000m² block at 317 Finchley Road, which provides 22 homes above lower-level workspace, has been built from approximately 725 tonnes of granite quarried at Larvik in Norway.
Developed with engineers Webb Yates, the scheme features nearly 600 columns, lintels and beams, the largest of which is 5m long.
Taha previously described the project as the ‘first 10-storey, loadbearing, self-finished stone structure without steel reinforcement or secondary structure since the last stone cathedrals’.
The practice claims the structure was constructed with roughly 80 per cent less embodied carbon than a steel frame clad in stone and 55 per cent less than a concrete structure clad in stone.

Rye-based practice RX Architects (@rxarchitects) has transformed an underutilised Victorian community building in Hastings into a youth hub with vibrant extensions
Located on a prominent corner in Hollington, the project adopts a language of brick piers and recessed brick panels, taking cues from the existing architecture and north-eastern orientation,
The existing Victorian building had an inefficient layout and was no longer capable of accommodating what was needed for a modern youth hub. In addition, ad hoc historic extensions had created a fragmented architectural composition.
Within the existing block, previously blocked-up openings have been reinstated at higher levels, bringing in natural light while retaining the privacy and character of the original structure.
At the heart of the scheme is a new flexible community facility to support a range of activities: community café, large multi-use hall, art and music rooms, gym, treatment rooms and office accommodation.

The winners of the 2026 AJ Student Prize were announced last night at a ceremony at @rshparchitects’s iconic offices in the ‘Cheesegrater’.
Students from Oxford Brookes and the Bartlett share the undergraduate prize while De Montfort’s Part 2 takes home the postgraduate award.
One of the undergraduate winners was India Merlin Weisser’s Part 1 (Images 1-4) project Exploring Principles of Care through an Intergenerational Women’s Co-operative, submitted by @oxfordschoolofarchitecture. Seeking to tackle social isolation and gender inequality, the brief brought together single mothers, ageing women and future residents.
The second undergraduate winner, Oscar Loo (Images 5-8) of the Bartlett (@bartlettarchucl), was recognised for Llobregat Delta Proving Grounds, a proposal for a Hydrology Centre in the wetlands of the Delta del Llobregat in Catalonia
The postgraduate prize went to De Montfort University’s (@dmuleicester) Jake Southcombe (Images 9-12) for a project reimagining Leicester’s abandoned Great Central Railway as the foundation for a healthier urban future.

The exclusive results of the AJ’s Into Work survey highlight the harsh realities facing the profession’s next generation
Published today, the feedback from the 400-plus students and early-career professionals could not be clearer: architectural education is tough and the move from classroom to practice has not eased.
The findings should serve as a warning to budding architects that they will face huge competition getting on the career ladder. And it will be a costly journey – and in many ways.
This survey is not meant as a deterrent to wannabe architects - but its findings should not be ignored.
