Safe & Healthy Living in High Density

OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES/GOALS

• High density in Melbourne and ongoing population increase. • Lack of good apartment design, specifically in terms of flexibility, adaptability and accessibility. • A need to accommodate the expansion of the ‘city’ • Ghost-tower issue - increase in apartments with no/ little occupancy.

• Ultimately move towards designing and creating safe and healthy living in high density. • Practice to understand their past projects and where they stand in relation to the current issues surrounding safe and healthy living in high density. • Informing clients on the best approach to apartment design through research and evidence of past projects.
