LIVING NEIGHBOURHOOD

Living Neighbourhood explores the relationship between private dwellings and urban landscape - between cohabitation, urban density, and the integration of ecological systems in an urban setting. Taking inspiration from Moshe Safdie’s Habitat 67, the project aimed to maximise the amount of usable green space for each of the nine units. Individual entrances aided by two lift shafts ensured accessibility to each apartment, with a green mesh wrap also attracting native fauna to the precinct. Using translucent polycarbonate facades ensured sufficient light to each apartment, while also creating a sense of connectedness between the units.
