Children to design house of future

From slides instead of stairs, a chocolate fountain in the kitchen or even a ball pit - a competition has been launched for a lucky youngster to be paid to design a house of the future in Stafford.

Redrow Homes Midlands is looking for children aged four to nine to provide inspiration for the developer's new homes, and the child's school will also receive £500 in artwork vouchers.

The winner could see their design incorporated into the housebuilder’s popular Heritage Collection.

To kick-start their efforts, parents can pick up art packs from Church View and Priory Park on Tixall Road.

Imaginative youngsters across the region have until April 21 to submit their entries and be in with a chance of being named Archi-tot for Redrow Homes Midlands in Stafford.

Andrew Cutler, area sales manager for Redrow Homes Midlands, said: “Here at Redrow, we’re committed to bringing young people into construction, and are recognised by the industry for our training excellence and apprenticeship programme.

“What better way to celebrate the creative talent of local youngsters? Who knows, we could even put in a good word for the winner to become one of our new apprentices in a few years’ time!”
