Apartment communities creating new frame communities
BIRTH OF THE FRAME
The incremental process of young people leaving home led to me thinking how the frameworks could grow from the existing apartment blocks both physically and organisationally.
Development
FINAL NEW TYPOLOGY
This has developed further into my new typology with the organisational growth from the parent block to the child forms, with the confined youth of the parent block growing towards the child forms through the umbilical pier, this is also reflected spatially and infrastructurally.

I analysed how the new forms could sit more unobstructivly into the landscape, ensuring light access minding trees and obstructions and started to analyse how the forms interact may with the parent blocks, taking queues from precedents, juxtapositions and ideas of connection.
