There are 10 references to beautiful design in the new NPPF released last month. I am sure many of you are also concerned about the increased level of subjectivity offered to local planning authorities in determining applications. The previous criterion of ‘well-designed’ is assessable in respect of many elements that combine to achieve good design, but how does one measure beauty?    I trust we would all encourage more ‘beauty’ in our built environment, more beautiful buildings and places.  The Living with Beauty report of 2020 by the Building Better Building Beautiful Commission is certainly an interesting read, but it raises serious concerns about how decisions will be made and by who.  Will the tasks of architects, urban designers and planners largely become translation of local authority approved design codes that will ultimately stifle innovation and creativity? Do we defer to popular opinion (a community-led approach), or will we see a resurgence of design review panels (with or without inextricable biases)? In the short term, will the Planning Inspectorate become the arbiter of ‘beauty’?   Perhaps I just worry too much.  Happy New Year everybody.

Passive design principles are a powerful and efficient way to create environmentally friendly structures. Unlike active systems that rely on mechanical or electronic design features, passive design leverages natural elements to optimise a building's sustainability. Some examples include strategic placement of windows and openings to maximise daylight and natural ventilation systems to enhance indoor air quality. We can help you to ensure that your building design incorporates passive design principles seamlessly. https://lnkd.in/e6Xh5gVA #PlanningForSustainability #ProjectPlanning #SustainableArchitecture #SustainableFutures #PassiveDesignFeatures

Architectural Virtual Tours help developers and agents sell off plan to international clients by inviting them to walk through the property as if it was built and they were there in person. As Architects there is simply no better way of presenting our designs and showing the full potential of a property. International buyers can walk through the property in their own time from the comfort of their own home anywhere in the world or on the go. Your potential buyers decide where to go and what to look at and don't have to follow some pre-determined set of images or video tour. It's a more real to life, engaging experience making visualisation a sinch. Have a look at our quick 'before and after' video below to see how we done it on our Barnes Street project. https://lnkd.in/em8fjnjg 01322521026 fresh@bluelimeprojects.com #estateagentslondon #propertydeveloper #londonproperties #primeresidential #matterport #virtualtour #architecturalvirtualtour #stagedvirtualtour #propertydesign #architects #luxurypropertydesign #luxuryhomedesign #londonpropertybuilding #londondesignandbuild
