A Building for Your Community explores how communities shape the spaces they inhabit. Hosted by architect and creative director Becca Thomas, this series examines community-led development from multiple perspectives - from architects pioneering participatory design, to social enterprises restructuring how practice works, to artists creating visibility for underrepresented groups, to community groups who became accidental property developers. Each episode asks: how do we build spaces that truly serve the people who use them?

Community-Led Housing with Mellis Haward

What happens when the people who'll actually live in homes get to design them from scratch? Mellis Haward from Archio Architects shares how winning projects through public votes, running four-day design workshops with just a site plan, and genuinely listening to what people aren't saying can fundamentally change how we approach housing design. From Community Land Trust projects in Lewisham to co-housing schemes in Norwich, this conversation explores the "happy naivety" required to let communities truly lead.
