VISION
CARLTON 2010 1.0 Vision The project is driven mainly by the direction local council initiatives. This is to potentially acquire government grants and also to stand out amongst the many other similar developments predicted rise in the coming years. Carlton boasts a high number of student residents, both local and international. While the number continues to rise alongside multiple developments of tertiary education institutes in the local area, more low cost accommodation is required to house these students as census data shows that many of students earn below average wages.1 Subsequently, to produce a development that caters to the economical margins of the students, the project looks to construct a building not only from low cost materials, but “green� resources to ensure a low life cycle cost. This benefits the owner from a maintenance perspective and the students benefit from low utility bills. It is of high imperative that each of these aims work in parallel and are relevant to one another, thus creating a wholisic design approach.

2.5.2 Land Use - Residence & Noise levels The site falls under the Mixed Use Zone, which was developed to enable a varied use of activities to service a wide range of stakeholders. Amenity requirements of residents should not threaten the purpose of the mixed-use and business zones. Residents living in or adjacent to these zones cannot expect the same level of amenity in regard to noise and activity as residents in more isolated residential zones. Therefore, residential development in mixed use zones should be designed to respond to the surrounding uses through the inclusion of elements such as double-glazed windows and acoustic insulation.1

3.1 Student housing Student housing is different from the typical apartment market in demanding affordability and very little space. In addition, student tenants who buy or rent these apartments don’t drive cars and are not eligible for on-street car parking permits. Each apartment typically contains a basic bathroom, a kitchenette, a cupboard, a single bed and a desk in a footprint of 16-18 m². To help compensate for the lack of living space, a communal area is provided. Built for around $2,600/m², these are low-cost buildings and incorporate functional briefs, rather than design inspired ones.

on Student Housing Policy: Amendment 3.3.1 Student Housing PolicyC163 – Bicycle & Car parking It is policy to encourage at least one bicycle parking space per student and support applications that provide limited or no car parking for students. To support the lack of car parking within this project, the low income based on census data1, the connectivity of public transportation and wealth of bicycle paths, as well as the proximity to the main educational institutes, infer a low & close to nil usage of cars by tenants. It is also policy to provide adequate space on the land for loading and unloading vehicles and waste collection.

3.3.2 Student Rooms Student rooms may comprise various levels of shared facilities. Within this project, the proposed student rooms are provided with all facilities except laundry facilities The bubble diagram above shows the requirements of size, layout, and design to comfortably accommodate key pieces of furniture & appliances. One way to comply with this policy would be to provide a minimum floor space of 10m² for a room to be used as a basic single student bedroom. This does not include a kitchen or an en-suite. Every room should have direct access to daylight, fresh air and an external window, and that at least one source of light be from external walls open to the sky. Rooms should also limit excessive noise and disruption from pedestrian and vehicle traffic and not be unreasonably overlooked by another room, either in the same building or adjoining property.

3.3.3 Shared Facilities & Communal Spaces Shared laundries include washing machines, clothes dryers, laundry tubs with hot and cold water, and clothes lines. Corridors and stairways should have access to natural lighting and ventilation and are conducive to incidental social interaction. Each student should have access to communal outdoor space. One way to comply with this policy would be to provide a ratio of 2.5m² of communal outdoor space per student in a maximum of two parcels, each parcel with a minimum width of 3m. Each student should also have access to internal common areas. One way to comply with this policy would be to provide a common living area with a minimum of 15m² in area for the first 12 students, and a further 15m² for each additional 12 students thereafter. All internal common areas should be located adjacent to high movement areas, and a direct relationship between internal and outdoor communal spaces is encouraged.

Land Cost is 360 sq m of site multiply by price per sq m of $18,0001 = $6.49M Building Cost is based on Units Area (1380m2) / 85% $2700 which is the cost per sq m = $3.167M
then multiply by
Finance Cost: value without gst($6.38M) - Profit Return($1.276M) gives project cost at $5.1M, Bank lend 70% of project cost gives $3.572M, Bank Debt of 9.0% = $321,550. Marketing and Sales: Marketing budget is 3.0% from the building cost, and Sale budget is 2.5% from building cost = $174,000 Profit Return is at 20% of value without GST($6.38M) =$1.276M 1 http://www.realestate.com.au/property-residential+land-vic-carlton-2751534 retrieved August 2011 * rmit lecture on 01/08/11

3.7 Stakeholder Relationships In regards to the agenda of the scheme, the design novate and construction is appropriated. This gives the opportunity for the owner to control the design and therefore the outcome is more accurate. The project manager under Hamton Development Group engages a Y Architects to carry out early design work, under a Design Agreement. The project manager then enters a contract with Napier & Blakely. When the construction contract is let, the project manager novates the Design Agreement to the contractor. Novation involves signing over the contractual relationship between Y Architects and Hamton to create a contractual relationship on the same terms between Y Architects and Napier & Blakely. The contractor then assumes full and unambiguous responsibility for the whole of the design as well as the construction. The contractor takes over responsibility for paying Y Architectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fees for work done from the time of novation.1

The site straddles three distinct areas: adjacent industrial-scaled buildings on large parcels, smaller terraces or townhouses across the street, and two-to four-storey mixed use buildings along Brunswick Street and Johnston Street. Thus, the challenge was to appropriate a chitects, The RAIA Award for Residential Architecture - Multiple Housing (VIC), au/awards_search?option=showaward&entryno=2007030325, response to prevailing 2007 heritage values of Fitzroy’s existing street 1 scape. In addition, the inner urban environment created logistical constraints upon construction. Furthermore, the Abito Apartment project was also driven by a client brief to create a building with an environmental sustainable design in a wholistic manner, that is, embedded within the architectural form.2 The deep parcel of the site also required the designer to penetrate through to allow light and air to reach all units.3 1 Jackson Clements Burrows Architects, The RAIA Award for Residential Architecture - Multiple Housing (VIC), http://www.architecture.com.au/awards_search?option=showawar d&entryno=2007030325, 2007 2 ibid 3 A Residential Response to an Industrial Site, www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/gooddesign, the Department of Planning and Community Development, October 2010

4.1.2 Precedent studies – Response The sketches above show the massing of the building which echoes the neighbourhood character of slot alley ways. It also allowed natural ventilation to cycle through the mass and sunlight to reach every unit. In a response to the contextual issue of scale and typologies, the building addresses the corner and transitions its height to meet its eastern neighbours. The finishing on the façade also mimics the existing streetscape. In terms of the logistical issues during construction, prefabricating methods and modules were utilized.

4.1.3 Precedent studies – Consequential Outcomes The massing of the building created open walkways, fire stairs, and foyers, consequently allowing the exclusion of sprinklers, thus saving water and materials. It also created a thermal chimney, flushing out hot air from the building and terraces could also be irrigated by rainwater. Due to the main nature of resources being factory processed before arriving at the site, construction time was shortened thus saving on built costs. The modular wall panels also contributed to cost savings. Furthermore, less embodied energy was spent in the construction of the building.
