Curtin University – Team 6

This project brings a clear focus to the benefits of prefabrication in architectural design to develop healthy, comfortable carbon positive housing to Australia.

Curtin University – Team 3

Our social housing scheme has been designed to be affordable, movable and adaptable. We have focused on simple, but effective floor plans and adaptable facades to create architecture that can be placed anywhere.

Curtin University – Team 5

Our approach has been to design a high performing cross-laminated timber (CLT) modular system that could be transported to site on a single 14.5 x 5.4m flatbed truck as 6 individual modules.

The University of Queensland – Team 2

Honeycomb Housing provides an innovative choice for affordable accommodation with vitality, sustainability and flexibility. It challenges and surpasses the conventional residence by its unique and creative construction form and architectural design.

The objective for our team was to create a midrise building, valuing sustainability, construction speed, precision of elements and a lightweight robust structure.

Monash University – Team 2

This project is an affordable, prefabricated housing solution for the Australian Market.

This project discusses the potential applications of offsite manufacturing to go beyond perceived limits of reusable and sustainable buildings.

This social housing building design utilises prefabrication and modular constructions that contribute to the low-cost construction cost and renders housing to b more affordable within the Australian market.

Inspired by the social structure of honeybees and their relationship with the world around them, the Hive is a social housing project aimed at enacting lasting change through Care, Belonging, and Learning. It is the intention of this project not just to provide dwellings for lower socio-economic groups but to provide the foundation for them to grow and help others.

Situated in the suburb of Midland, Perth; this project works to address this issue whilst tackling the burgeoning affordable housing crisis facing Australia and Perth in particular.

We are currently at a junction where it is imperative that we design with the intent of net zero.

This project aims to create a precedent for future construction and housing, challenging the current trend of onsite construction that uses heavy materials with high embodied energy such as bricks and aluminum.

This project embodies many design ideals that collectively work in unison to deliver Architecture holistically, with an aim to address current and future issues surrounding social housing for the homeless and demands for more affordable living.
