Broadway Malyan’s Idea House has been highly commended in the Special Award – Environmental category at the Cityscape Awards 2009.
The Idea House, an eco house prototype that reinterprets the socio, cultural and environmental intricacies of the traditional Kampong house embraces environmental technologies in its attempts to become the first carbon zero residence in South East Asia. Designed by Broadway Malyan’s Singapore office for leading developer Sime Darby Properties, it demonstrates the joint commitment between architect and developer in preserving the environment for future generations whilst redefining tropical residential living for the 21st century.

Broadway Malyan has won five contracts to devise innovative plans for ‘low carbon retrofits’ of existing low-rise social housing as part of the £3.5m Retrofit for the Future competition run by the government-backed Technology Strategy Board.
Broadway Malyan was one of the winning organisations, which included housing associations, construction companies, local councils and architects, will be awarded contracts of up to £20,000 for each feasibility project, enabling them to work with suppliers to devise solutions geared towards making deep cuts in the carbon emissions produced by social housing, in turn helping to meet UK government target reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.
In all, the Technology Strategy Board has earmarked up to £16m for Retrofit for the Future projects that will be delivered in two phases, with this initial competition call constituting Phase 1 of the overall project. From the initial feasibility projects, up to 100 proposals will be invited into a second phase, where the most promising designs are taken through to real builds, culminating in the retrofit and monitoring of up to 100 ‘demonstrator’ houses in early 2010.
