Affordable housing
requires embracing multiple criteria. within the design process. An integrated approach of experimenting with design typologies, challenging traditional domestic materials and construction, responding to the natural environment and capitalising on the benefits of the collective provides a diverse engagement to rethink the home, land ownership and subsequent relationships to neighbour and street.

an Inversion
of the house in terms of privacy thresholds provides the opportunity for the house to perform the role as mediator between maintaining the independence of the inhabitant and capitalising on the benefits of the collective.
Sleeping Zone:
circulation
traditionally placed internally with rooms on the boundary means neighbouring properties are overlooking into potentially private areas, whereas circulation which is more public is internal. Circulation being a more public zone in the house by placing it on the periphery provides a buffer between private areas and the street and neighbours.

this buffer
rather than simply circulation is considered equally in terms of its economical, environmental and social potential. Economically since the zone is a lightweight structure allows the home to abandon the traditional necessity of downsizing when it comes to affordable housing. Environmentally since the polycarbonate outer zone and internal thermal mass acts as a thermal buffer. Socially since this zone provides a different relationship between the home and the street, activating the street differently throughout the day in response to the inhabitants movements and activities.

Morisset Lower Hunter
In the context of the Lower Hunter which is characterised by a population, which is older than, and continuing to age at a rate faster than, the NSW average this housing typology provides a rethinking of the home for the 55+ negotiating the fear of losing independence and the need to connect to the community. For economic growth, the ageing population presents particular challenges for the region to maintain a strong and diverse workforce. On the other hand the trend for baby boomers whether intended or out of necessity is to work beyond the official retirement age. However there are not the necessary opportunities to allow for their employment.

DWELLINGS
Through considering the house as changing to facilitate individual and collective actions provides opportunity to facilitate an appropriate work live lifestyle to support the outside community but also dismiss baby boomers fears of inactivity, redundancy and disempowerment upon entering the village.

1. Investigative Research Work
Minimisation
Prior individual investigations which led up to the realisation of The Inverted House involved explorations into the decomposition of rooms within a house based on minimisation. This process of minimisation was based on bounding services within a room such as a bed, table etc. Therefore rather than providing dead space in each room potential was found in pulling out this dead space for the collective. Clustering homes based on this inversion of privacy means new zones of sharing between neighbour, street and community occurs.

NEGATIVE SPACE IN A ROOM
Precedent
Le Corbusier’s Unite d’ Habitation formed the basis of decomposition, since this housing model is based on the internal street within an affordable medium rise living typology. In its current state Unite d’ Habitation internal street can be compared to row housing, where residents share the street and have a private backyard/balcony. Subsequent iterations of decomposition involved testing the potential of courtyard and detached housing to open up variations in areas of sharing. Different arrangements provide varied levels of enclosure and their subsequent relationships to neighbour and street and inform whether spaces are shared by a module, cluster or the whole building. This form of medium rise living based on the street, shared spaces and the house results in a building where the inhabitant capitalises on the collective benefits of closeness and concentration.

Decomposition Of Room Based On Furniture A library of programmatic volumes bound at their minimum was placed within the decomposed iterations of the Unite d’ Habitation to form modules of privatised living against shared collective spaces. The bounding of furniture within these volumes were not only based on the plan but also the section. For instance the space above and below a bed is not required for the function of sleeping, but inversely the collective can benefit from this space above and below for moments of storage or seating. It was this idea of a thickened façade to provide private program for the inhabitant on one side, and program for collective externally, such as seating, benches which was the main idea carried on to the group project development.
