Research and consultancy projects

Our research work is both responsive and proactive. We take opportunities to tender for specific pieces of research, which we may either do ourselves or undertake jointly with an external partner. We also aim to identify gaps in research relating to housing and disability and submit proposals for funding on a speculative basis.

We offer a design advice and consultancy service for architects, developers, planners and housing providers. This service focuses, in particular, on Lifetime Homes and wheelchair accessible housing and environments.
Please see the relevant links for more information on specific projects and recent or forthcoming research and guidance publications. If you would like more information, please email us .
