GET the chance to design a home for the future.

Nationwide housebuilder Bloor Homes has launched a competition for secondary school students to design a home for the future which Bloor will then build on one of its developments.

The competition was first run last year and was such a success that the developer has committed to invest in the building of another new home designed by students.

Last year’s winners from Wycombe High School are currently working with Bloor on their home design.

The competition is the brainchild of regional chairman Adrian Bloor, who said he is keen to ‘push the boundaries of design’ in new homes and to ‘foster young design talent in children in secondary education’ to prompt them to consider a career in architecture, property and interior design.

He said: “We were incredibly impressed by the level and quality of the entries that we received last year and teacher feedback demonstrated that students are keen to be given the opportunity to work with a business like ours to give them an idea of what’s involved in new home design.

“The impressive level of talent we saw last year showed us that there are many budding architects and designers out there and this project seeks to uncover that talent so we can continue to push the boundaries in the future of home design.”
