This session explored how you can design, create, and build homes for the future. Drawing on international and UK examples, it focused on how simple, thoughtful design, and community-based co-production can create more inclusive homes that support people to live and age well in their own homes.

Chaired by Yvonne Castle, CEO at Johnnie Johnson Housing Trust, we were joined by:

  • Laura Wood, Director at Invisible Creations
  • Joe McLoughlin, Managing Director at Astraline
  • Jane Bringolf, Founding Director of Centre of Universal Design Australia
  • Dr Vikki McCall, University of Stirling - the principal investigator of a new research project, Intersectional Stigma of Place-based Ageing (ISPA) and co-ordinator of a new Inclusive Living Alliance.

We are thankful to this session's sponsors, Johnnie Johnson Housing GroupProCare and Invisible Creations.

Event feedback:

  • A very good insight to how the problems and stigmas are being addressed.
  • Varied and informative - a good broad spectrum of contributors that really helped the discussion flourish.
  • Fabulous mix of exploration experience and real world outcome success!
