FUTURE TREEHOUSE MITCHELL HEYNEN a1669500
JULIAN WORRALL STUDIO URBANISM 2018
Future Treehouse aims to reflect the qualities of a closely interacting community. Residents of Future Treehouse experience limited privacy, with open space and full floor balconies encouraging interaction with other occupants. Lower floors house retail and commercial spaces to help local businesses, especially with the implementation of multi-use working spaces. With free flowing forms and shifted floor plates derived from open space within the park lands, the building is formed from the idea of being within canopies. Built for residential and multi-purpose use, Future Treehouse addresses current aims to house and create employment in the City of Norwood, Payneham and St. Peters. Fluid and irregular forms encourage communication between occupants of the building in attempt to replicate behaviour of forest tree houses. Balconies which surround residences offer movement and connection with more of the building community occupying the stacked dwellings. Minor implications to the site on the corner of Dequetteville Terrace and Rundle Street, Kent Town, were necessary with the new multi-use building paying due respect to site heritage and neighbouring building qualities.
