Autorenporträt

David Levitt and David Bernstein co-founded Levitt Bernstein in 1968. At the same time, they started what is now one of the UK's largest housing associations. David Levitt's involvement in commissioning and designing housing - and his interest in the concerns of clients and residents - produced The Housing Design Handbook in 2010. Eight years later, he has returned to it - adding the expertise of his many contacts in the field.

Despite retiring from practice in 2005, David has continued as a 'design champion' for housing developers and housing associations and as a board member of Design for Homes.

Jo McCafferty joined Levitt Bernstein in 1997 and now leads the practice's major housing studio. Her key role has been championing inventive solutions at masterplanning and detailed-design scales and to work with communities to empower residents through the design process. As co-editor ofg this edition of The Housing Design Handbook, she brings her experience on current projects, emerging policy and contacts to give insight into best practice.

Jo sits on the RIBA Awards National Panel. She is a CABE Built Environment Enabler and a guest critic at the University of Newcastle, University of Cambridge and invited lecturer at the Architectural Association.
