INDEX
PHILOSOPHY | REFLECTION The design has been a significant part of my life. I have been fascinated by its problem-solving nature and the conceptual ideologies it can introduce to viewers through visual communication. Studying architecture is a journey of understanding the design of space and ultimately the design of human experience and lifestyle. The ability to shape people’s lives through design has been my motivation to pursue my learning. Residential architecture directly influences people’s lifestyle. The increase of the population in the inner suburbs is an inevitable future of Melbourne and therefore it is vital to explore the novel typology of residential houses that respond to the rapidly changing social, cultural and environmental contexts while not compromising the quality of life. Homes in the densified suburbs should accommodate not only the comfort of residents but also the active community engagement in the neighbourhood. My design approach originates from respecting the context and problem-solving. Parameters and constraints such as limited sunlight access and the relationship with the laneway inform my design directions which respond to the brief. Through this design studio, I was able to develop my skills in developing and justifying my design through clear visual and verbal communication.

A TWO-STOREY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT
House is a place where people breathe every day. It needs to accommodate daily programmes at the same time being flexible for the changing spatial requirement as occupants change their ways of living. The brief asked for a multi-generational house that can adapt over time, and reflects its suburb characteristics such as its historical Edwardian facade and the connection with the laneway.

The site visit and the suburb visits to North Carlton & Fitzroy gave a better understanding of the local architectural contexts in terms of the exterior appearance, heritage and the relationship with surrounding buildings.

The group project was largely driven by the idea of providing communal space on site. The significant ground floor area was dedicated to the shared study space and office, and the glazed spiral staircase was located facing the extended laneway, functioning as a focal point where people may use as a meeting point and place for conversation. The overall form of the building responded to the circulation and the sunlight intake on the site.

MULTI-RESIDENTIAL HOUSING
The exploration into the densification of an urban suburb is undertaken through Living Neighbourhood, the multi-residential estate project. The site consisting of four adjacent units of land is transformed into a space for the general public, resident communities and for individual residents. In order to successfully respond to the different scales of spatial needs, it is crucial to take into consideration the integration of the urban fabric such as laneways into the site, and the preservation of residents’ privacy through clear demarcation of thresholds between private, communal and public areas.

SITE ANALYSIS
Densification doesn’t mean reducing the floor area per person which subsequently leads to compromising the quality of life. As we reflect upon the unsuccessful outcomes of social housing estates, we can observe how they isolated individuals from wider communities by having the combination of private units, circulation space and under-utilised open green area. The design direction was largely determined by the philosophy that the densification of suburbs can be achieved by encouraging the social interactions between residents and not compromising the individual lifestyle; which were translated in architectural term as the provision of communal space and the flexibility of units to suit residents’ needs.
