The Multiple Garden House, or houses, is a mixed tenure social housing scheme located in the centre of Welwyn Garden City. The project is an alternative scheme for the site which is currently under construction with a large high-rise development that is widely considered not in line with the Garden City Principles.

The design for the Multiple Garden House involves a single module that could be repeated and terraced within the scheme, with the module itself containing three separate units. The three units were designed to cater to three different types of households: one being a young couple or single person; the second being for a family; and the third a disabled access unit.

The project aims to produce a mixed tenure social scheme that uses the Garden City Principles to create a better quality of life for its residents whilst adapting modern social housing ideas to develop the Welwyn Garden City model. To do this, the scheme centres around green space. Residents all have access to private roof gardens – private green space being a value of a garden city – as well as semi-public gardens created between modules to encourage a greater number of interactions and sense of community. The result is an expanded Welwyn Garden City, which meets the demand for new housing but improves, rather than degrades, the quality of life.
