Description
At VELUX, we believe better homes don't require future technology. They require better systems today. Our award-winning Living Places concept started with 2 experimental homes in Copenhagen, proving that sustainable, healthy housing is possible at scale.
Now Igloo is translating these principles to the UK market. Watch the full story of how Creative Director John Nordon and his team won the UK government-led HOMES 2030 competition and are now developing 42 units in Sunderland based on Living Places principles, reimagining homes as places where people can thrive.
This documentary explores:
• How Living Places Copenhagen proved healthy, affordable housing works at scale
• Igloo's approach to building homes that get better as they age
• The HOMES 2030 competition and what it means for UK housing
• Creating homes designed for longevity, flexibility, and community
• Why purpose-led development and planetary stewardship matter

Living Places gives us something scalable and repeatable as we move into larger projects. The ambition is to shift from one-off projects to repeatable typologies we can scale nationally.
