This design purposely demonstrates insights into constructing a mixed-use, prefabricated, space displaying unique educational & experimental dimensions.

Curtin University – Team 4

The development of prefabrication has ensured safety and low cost in the increasingly overcrowded cities. Over the past five years there has been an attemptat spreading the use of recyclable and environmentally-friendly, lowcost and rational houses, apartments and offices, which doesn’t need to limit the space of these pre-fabricated buildings seemingly integrates into the urban fabric.

University of Queensland – Team 5

This project utilises sustainable modular design to create a set of small residences within a re-purposed industrial warehouse. A site was selected to match the specified scale of the project, which was then populated by modular housing, a public cafe, convenience store and resident utilities.

Curtin University – Team 6

This project explores the potential of combining offsite manufactured solutions with adapted existing structures to deliver a mixed-use development that improves long term asset performance.

University of Queensland – Team 1

The project wareHAUS is the transformation of an existing warehouse into a habitable social and living space that accommodates three residential unit typologies for students and retail spaces for the public.

Curtin University – Team 3

In response to the growing global population and pandemic issues. The project has proposed vertical farm in each unit balcony, the user can produce fruit and vegetable with a great nutritional value

Curtin University – Team 5

The interchange is an approach to modular housing where the apartment complex can adapt to any site through a kit of part design, that also interjects the site with a new atmosphere to improve client and community value.

University of Queensland – Team 3

Eco Modular is an adaptive reuse design proposed for a warehouse in an inner-city suburb, aiming to provide a sustainable, healthy quality of living and cost-efficient design method for the original one-story warehouse.

The cube is a mix use development which emphasize timber usage as main material in the middle of industrial site to provide sense of warmth and to reconnect the environment with nature.

Deakin University – Team 1

Our design-‘Plug & Play’ explores the opportunity of using prefabricated modules on a macro scale, that includes the building layout and construction, all the way down to its’ micro scale, which looks at the potential of using prefabricated modules as movable plug-ins within units.

Queensland University of Technology – Team 2

In 2020, COVID struck the construction sector in Australia and around the globe with challenges such as housing shortages, low productivity, tight labour markets, reduced number of workers, price inflations and high demand for social infrastructure space

The Green Lung facilitates a new and improved multi-use design concept, inspired by the niche market of DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) design, consisting of both Volumetric and Kit -Of-Part (KOP) elements.

Curtin University – Team 12

The core concept of this project is to explore self-sustaining adaptive reuse by reimagining the design of mixed-use residential space.

University of Queensland – Team 2

The O-Hub is an adaptive reuse project of the warehouse, based on the fundamental value of circular economy and the response to sustainable theories..
