Never too late. There are lots of damages done to Housing Industry in the recent years. I welcome this move from RIBA. I hope this will not be just a statement to seek attention and nothing being achieved in the end.

HCA guide, HQI standard, Parker Morris guide, NHF guide, English Partnership guide, SDS Standard, John Calcutt Report, BFL......and all whole load of other standards are there. But none of these are compulsory to private housing development. At least Social housing have to follow the minimum standard floor area in order to secure funding.

It is totaly unfair to blame Architect's for the shoeboxes size houses. That show ....'u dont know what is happening and what ur talking about'..
All Architect want to create the best enviroment to live, work and enjoy......but its developer decide wheather ur bedroom have en-suite or room for chester-drawer,cots,tv sitting area and etc.

if RIBA can reach a decision on a comfortable minimum housing size standard, that will be a great achievement.
