Good Homes Alliance (GHA) is pleased to announce that we are now an official partner of the 2026 Housing Design Awards.
A key challenge in housing design in recent years has been ensuring that quality, sustainability and long-term performance remain central to decision-making. Through this new partnership, GHA will help strengthen the climate resilience and energy performance criteria within the awards, reinforcing the importance of delivering homes that are fit for a changing climate.
As part of this collaboration, our Chair, Dr Tom Dollard, will join the judging panel. Tom leads on sustainable design at Pollard Thomas Edwards and has played a key role in shaping GHA’s industry-leading work on low-energy housing, building performance and climate-responsive design.
The Housing Design Awards have long recognised excellence in residential development across the UK. In recent years, a number of GHA members have received awards, including Howells, HTA Design, PRP, Levitt Bernstein and Pollard Thomas Edwards. Other GHA members shortlisted have included Studio Partington and Cullinan Studio.
