2024 Semester 2

Dis-Connect: An Experimental Social Housing Project to connect and dis-connect.

Social Housing with Communal Living Room: The project aims to promote rich communal living between residents and create a harmonious and meaningful environment for collaborative living.

Life is Nothing but Breath and Sunlight: The project seeks a balanced coexistence of nature, human activity, and architectural form.

A Place for the Collective and the Community: Melbourne’s middle-ring suburbs are characterised by a strong dichotomy between the public interface and one’s private detached home, which results in activity that is either too exposed or too isolated.

Connection Within: The project celebrates a delicate equilibrium in the meaningful connection between residents, nature, and community through the redefinition of space.

Beyond the Frame: In an era of urban sprawl and disconnection from food origins, suburban living in Melbourne transforms into communal sanctuaries for nourishment.

Bill Street Social Housing: The current housing model in Australia, typically featuring a rectangular block with a central core, often results in insufficient light and poor ventilation for some residents.

Hawthorn Re-Settling: This project seeks to create immediate shelters for those refuging personnel and families, providing effective, functional yet generous spaces for residents to rebuild trust and foster a healthy and sustainable community.

The Haus: The Haus aims to instigate and bring forward the strength within the individual and wider collective, fostering a sense of belonging within a unified community.

Parkside: Parkside fundamentally fosters enduring relationships between the individual, the community and the land.
