Suburban Provocations

2021

Looking at speculative examinations of new and alternative forms of suburban developments. This project emphasized retaining existing Australian ecological conditions and promoting housing co-habitation designs with modular conditions for openess and privacy.

Research

Housing Form

Examining the density of a proposed plan for the location of the suburban development. This formed the minimum density requirement.

Devloping massing sizes based housing sizes (5B, 3B, 1B), including shared areas

Housing units share hallway

Elevating share areas: eco-passage

Push/pull: private spaces

Angling walls to enhance privacy

Suburban siting

Houses follow the natural terrain, reducing excavation while maximizing view opportunities. Previous allotments are overlaid.

Middle Roads are removed for side access dirt-gravel roads, creating more grassland and private spaces

Natural storm water catchment system with new proposed basin system, and newly retained grassland

Paths are constructed to flow around the site

Housing/contour/site activities

Walking Paths
