The brief focused on resident experience, amenity, security, and community, shaping a welcoming, positive environment tailored to residents’ needs.

Design evolved around three priorities: optimal living in 32 sqm, maximising amenity, privacy, natural light, and ventilation, and achieving robust, efficient construction for a high-quality, tenure-blind outcome.

Rather than a typical double-stacked corridor, apartments are aligned to benefit from northerly aspects. Open deck corridors provide 100% natural cross-ventilation, encourage communal interaction, and create informal spaces for residents to meet and connect.

Efficient one-bedroom micro-apartments offer flexible, respectful accommodation. They stack cost-effectively, integrate passive design principles, and are simple to build and maintain. Communal rooms and gardens further enhance wellbeing and social connection. Thoughtful detailing and material choices ensure a sense of quality and dignity for every resident, while creating a safe, supportive environment that fosters belonging and community pride.
