Studio 425 are pleased to present the ‘London Housing Design Guide Spreadsheet by studio425’, a handy new tool for measuring designs for new
homes against the London Plan space standards.
The file, an Excel template, can
be used to quickly check what space standards apply to new homes and see if a
proposed design meets the London Housing Design Guide criteria.
The spreadsheet, a .XLT file works by asking you to fill in unit
type and measurements for specific spaces including bedrooms, living rooms,
balconies and storage spaces for new homes. The spreadsheet automatically
displays what space standards are required and highlights whether or not the
proposal meets these space standards.
The spreadsheet uses a combination of IF commands and
conditional formatting to display the results with simple “yes” / “no” answers.
These results are automatically colour co-ordinated, green for “yes” and red
for “no”.
If you find the spreadsheet useful, please forward a link to
our website to your colleagues or social media contacts. The file is published
completely gratis.
