The Estate House Re-designed Summary

The Estate House Re-designed by Anthony Sully

The book demonstrates how new houses can be designed to be more sustainable and ergonomic. Specifically, it describes a prototype building that could be constructed in the near future. Responding to some of the poor standards of mass estate housing in the UK and its out-of-date space standards, it contributes towards improving the current status quo by describing a house design, including drawings, that can compete with today's mass housing. The author examines the traditional geometrical reliance on the square in the design of houses and the planning of housing estates and promotes instead the adoption of polygonal forms. This is explained using geometric analysis, diagrams and references to existing housing. These concepts have been developed with reference to technical literature from various companies with one company interested in taking it further. Providing a novel and up-to-date design concept, this book is of value to practitioners and researchers looking to improve the standard of mass housing in the UK. It is also of interest to anyone wishing to build their own house and to manufacturers wanting to move into modern housing technology.

The Estate House Re-designed Reviews

Sully's book is aimed at developers, planners (another group, the education of which is wholly inadequate), architects, builders, and manufacturers of building products and components, but it should also be studied by politicians and decision-makers, and by students of architecture. ... this is a deeply humane and interesting book, ... . (James Stevens Curl, The Jackdaw, May - June, 2019)

It is clear that this book is the synthesis of a very long-term study by the author and having set out his 'research' in the first three chapters the latter part of the book looks at how these could be implemented. ... For anyone involved in the design of housing, this work would be a good read. (Andrew McFarlane, building engineer, Vol. 93 (12), December, 2018)
