  • Chen Shian Ng

    The Intervals and Betweens: By integrating prefabrication technology with a modular column system and an adaptive plumbing infrastructure independent of partition walls, the design enhances structural efficiency, flexibility, and adaptability.

  • Marcela Luna

    Agora Housing: Agora is a modular, community-oriented social housing project built on a 5x5m grid system; it supports flexible unit typologies around a central courtyard, fostering a shared spatial identity and user/centred design.

  • Yiwen (Eva) Huang

    Suburban Home - Village by Creek: Village by Creek reimagines suburban social housing by preserving the human scale and fostering connections—between people, and to nature.

  • Xavier Jin

    The project balances out the importance of individual autonomy and collective living dynamics through a courtyard-based massing that reorients conventional linear block forms to maximize solar access and define shared communal landscapes.

  • Elysia Lelon

    Anchor + Home: A social housing project that nurtures the collective and creates a spectrum of spaces to be inhabited for both the individual and the communal.

  • Mia Moshinsky

    Framing Hawthorn: This project repositions social housing as a deliberative and adaptable Co-Housing framework shaped by modular assembly, resident agency and shared living.

  • Mirai Tanabe

    Built into a Line: The proposal reimagines social housing by reclaiming permanence and intentionality through spatial clarity, consistent proportions, and the integration of simple, elegant, functional elements that support daily life with quiet dignity.

  • Chiara du Plessis

    Arranged around a hearth: Raised gently above the ground, this housing project begins with a hearth — redefined not through material weight, but as a solid red core that signals the spatial and social centre of each dwelling among an otherwise open and adaptable plan.

  • Oscar Jakobsen

    Lykkegaard: The intent of this project is to reconnect people with what many have lost in this fast paced and globalized age; A connection to their community, neighbours, nature, and the resources they consume.

  • Zoe Konstantopoulos

    Reinterpreting the ‘Australian Ugliness’: a social housing model: Contemporary social housing in Australia has largely detached itself from the country’s vernacular identity.

  • Xinyi Li

    Live Together, Live Alone: Located in Hawthorn, a suburb shaped by its student population and growing urban density, Live Together, Live Alone proposes a new co-living model that reimagines the spatial and social dynamics of student housing.
