PROJECT BRIEF In the second half of the semester we put focus on the analysis and transformation of an individual house. We are required to transfrom the No. 4 MacArthur Place, Carlton, Victoria to a midium-density multi-generational housing, with a moderate consideration of the building’s tectonics, materiality, facade, etc..

LIVING HOUSE (Transferring No. 4 MacArthur Place)
CONCEPT STATEMENT In a multi-generational household, undoubtly there will be arguments and disagreements of opinion caused by generation gap. However, a family is still stick together with a bond even their relationships are not always ‘in harmony’. Therefore, the word ‘harmony’ becomes my design drive and will be reflect on multiple aspects such as planning, materiality and light.
PROJECT 2: LIVING HOUSE
In the layout planning of rooms, common living are placed on the center of the house and individual rooms are placed on the very end of two sides. In this way, each generation can either come together or has the choice to retrive and to get enough private space. The concept of ‘harmony’ are also being expressed in the transition of private and common space.
