Healthy Homes award announced in association with TCPA at The Pineapples

To be eligible for The Pineapple for Healthy Homes, the homes can come in any form, whether part of mixed-use developments, social housing or small development sites, but should be located in the UK. There is no timeline restriction in terms of when the housing completed, however it is recommended that this has been a notable year in the life of the project, and the homes must be inhabited at the time of entering. The project must also be available to be visited by judges during the judging period, if shortlisted.

"We are delighted to launch this category with the TCPA. This is a fresh opportunity for The Pineapples to amplify best practice and raise awareness on the impact of housing quality on health," said Christine Murray, Editor-in-Chief of The Developer and chair of The Pineapples judging.

"The Healthy Homes Principles take into account the impact of the wider place, including access to nature, transport and climate resilience. It’s going to be a coveted prize and I look forward to reviewing the entries and highlighting the best that the built environment has to offer."

The Pineapples celebrate excellence in the design and development of places where people want to live, work and play. The categories aim to cover all phases of development from community engagement to completion. The early bird deadline for entries is 10 October with a final entry deadline of 28 November.
