The Glass-House is a registered charity that supports and encourages better working partnerships between communities and professionals who are working together to improve the quality of a neighbourhood. The Glass-House works nationally, offering design advice, training   and project support   to projects focusing on neighbourhoods, housing, public space, community buildings, play areas and facilities for young people. The Glass-House supports a community led design process that ensures regeneration is happening with and for, not to local people. Our objectives As part of a commission from the Asset Transfer Unit, The Glass-House Community Led Design led a series of Design Impact Workshops with recently refurbished community centres across the UK in May 2010. During and following a walk around the centre, the groups highlighted many of the aspects that the refurbishment has facilitated - what works well or not so well for them - and reflected on the major opportunities that good design in refurbishment can bring. From this work a useful guide and case studies have been published - ‘Making Buildings Work for you’.
