Project Description
Current Problems: As one of the world's top 10 creative cities, Melbourne attracts a lot of creative professionals to settle down. However, in the creative industry, creative professionals' incomes are unstable, so it is common for artists to engage in non-arts commitments to making a living wage. Artists cannot focus on their creative practices due to a busy working schedule and start losing their self-identity. The We Accommodate Art (WAA) is a housing typology to be applied in suburban sites across Victoria. WAA is an affordable, inspiring co-housing model for creative professionals to work and live in the middle suburbs of Melbourne, delivering with affordability, creative amenity, and social sustainability. This architectural typology is dedicated to supporting and celebrating Victoria's creative industries, growing from the creative community, creative Melbourne, to creative Victoria. Bringing the creative communities to the middle-ring suburbs could contribute to the gentrification process and improve the desirability and livability of middle rings. •
WAA accommodates the dynamic lifestyle of artists. The proposal celebrates the idea of 'incompleteness', which is impermeant, dynamic and flexible. The idea of incompleteness is applied with different scales: from a piece of flexible furniture to the reconfigurable dwellings, and then to the dynamic public spaces. The architectural envelope is deliberately left as 'incomplete' to provoke creativity and imagination by allowing customization and flexibility. The "incompleteness" of space encourages artists to adapt the spaces to their creative and dynamic lifestyle, allowing a range of household constellations.
•
WAA accommodates artists at every stage of their life. The demographic mix is introduced with four client groups: Young individuals, Couples, Family with children and 55+ artists, which allows intergenerational idea exchange. Three types of dwellings are designed with high spatial qualities to meet the need of different client groups. By bringing the artists from different generations together, the older generation will be purged with new ideas and the younger generation may meet a good mentor or help to make the ancient creative culture alive.
•
WAA contributes to a meaningful and sustainable neighbourhood. The volumes and materiality are modulated in response to the typical suburban houses and the planning scheme. The set-back, verge, car parking spaces are addressed with a novel approach, which holds the creative interactions of the community and serves the broader neighbourhood. An integrated ESD (Environmentally Sustainable Design) scheme is proposed with this model to achieve sustainability and reduce long-term living cost. All the dwelling typologies are complied with passive design principles, delivering high spatial quality and amenities.
All the design considerations, both interior and exterior, are used to create meaningful community and energetic neighbourhood. In the post-pandemic future, the creative industry will play an essential role in the economic recovery. We accommodate art. We accommodate the future yet to come.

Context and Purpose
Online Researches and Articles.
The project is derived from the co-living and affordable living ideas, which embarking a journey of finding client group. Nowadays, Australian creative professionals are doing multiple jobs to make a living wage, which makes them hard to focus on their creative practices. As the artists are playing an important role in making Melbourne an iconic creative city, it is valuable for the architects to provide affordable places for them to focus on their creative practices. The project is proposed to “Let the artist focus on art, Let the right person do the right things.� Co-living is proposed to address affordable issues and the demographic mix is introduced to allow intergenerational idea exchange. It is beneficial to bring people with similar interests and values into one community to achieve social sustainability. By bring the artists from different generations together, the older generation will be purged with new ideas and the younger generation may meet a good mentor or help make the ancient creative culture alive.
Context and Purpose
Incomes of Artists. From MAKING ART WORK: AN ECONOMIC STUDY OF PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS IN AUSTRALIA Retrieved from http://www.australiacouncil.gov.au/research/making-art-work/, Copyright 2017 by making art work.
“I gave up my creative practice for money, give up the idea of it being the thing that pays the rent and pays the bills.” - Margo Lanagan, writer.
Based on the “Make Art Work” research, that income of creative professionals from creative work in their chosen profession is far below that earned by similarly qualified practitioners in other professions”. Most of creative professionals are struggling to maintain a living wage and a creative practice. The concept is proposed to create an affordable housing model for the creative professionals to address the living challenges of them. The project WAA will provide affordable places for them to live and work in the inner suburb of Melbourne. In addition, the creative people are people with ideas and the creative community will foster the opportunities of cultural, creative, and intergenerational exchange, providing an affordable space for them to concentrate on their creative practice and supporting their creative project.

The Background “The artist moving from the small town or the burbs into the big city to “make it” or to “find herself ” has almost become a kind of hero-story template in the culture.” - Curtis Lindsay , musician.
Based on the “make art work” research, 74% of creative professionals are living in urban capital cities rather than regional, rural or remote areas. As Melbourne is an iconic creative city that attracts a lot of creative professionals to settle, it is valuable to propose an affordable housing model in the middle suburbs of Melbourne, where is close to public amenity and there are more opportunities for networking, for performance/exhibition, and for teaching.

Close to Carlton Gardens, CBD, public transport and buzz of the Brunswick Street culture, this apartment is a private oasis in lively Fitzroy." What they have achieved? • Cairo consists of a U-shaped block of 28 bachelor flats, comprising 20 bed-sits and 8 single bed units. - Provide Range of Choice. • An economical layout and affordability met fashionability and comfort - Influenced by modernist architect Wells Coates and the "minimum flat concept". What they have not achieved? • Shared Roof Space is leaved as an open space without any amenity - empty and open 'flexible space'- roof is no longer considered structurally safe for people to access. • Studio-Type units needs more innovation to improve living quality and meet modern lifestyle.

03 A House for an Artist ‘House for an Artist’ boasts a dual purpose, designed considering the aesthetic value of an artist studio and the functionality of a family home. What they have achieved? • The project accommodates a dual function of artist studio and a home for family. • The poetic and artistic approach of spatial experience design and materiality makes the project a place for artist – (how to simulate this experience in an affordable housing model? - affordable house with ‘luxury’ experience) What they have not achieved? • This project is a unique response to a specific client instead of a client group, which does not provide connections. • This project does not address issues of affordability – this is only suitable for successful artists, not for those who are still struggling.

Concept Design week5
Site Approach Iteration 1 Site Itera�on 1 - Internal Street Building blocks are separated on two sides to create an internal street within the community. Pros: It can active the community and allow the artists to exhibit creative works- the site becomes creative neighborhood. Cons: Lost different layers of privacy by a clear division between the internal space and external space. It does not encourage people to slow down and stay as it only provides a linear experience.

Context Analysis Week6
Typology Analysis 01 Building boundaries The major housing typology in middle suburb of Melbourne are post-war house and modern house. The analysis is conducted based on building boundaries, living narratives and form & materiality. The historical language of suburb will be built into the project, working as a historical context to evoke a creative process towards future.
Post-war: â&#x20AC;˘ Front yard: (connected to the street)-low brick or timber fences and wide, ordered front gardens. â&#x20AC;˘ Backyard: Tall Fences. Timber or corrugated steel fence. Some with outer shed or pergola.
House Boundaries. From Google Map. Retrieved from https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-reservoir-429766322
Suburban Response 01 Building boundaries Modern: â&#x20AC;˘ Front yard: (connected to the street) gardens are increasingly diverse in plantings and design, occasional front fences in low brick or timber, or no fence. â&#x20AC;˘ Backyard: Tall Fences. Timber or corrugated steel fence. Some with Open-plan veranda.
House Boundaries. From Google Map. Retrieved from https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-doncaster-430010210
Suburban Response 02 Living Narrative Post-War: • Entry: Walking through the front garden and a level change is introduced to create the sense of arrival. Triple Fronted Brick Veneer with bedroom, kitchen, and lounge push to the front. Kitchen is close to the garage for household shopping convenience. • Living: Increase of home entertainment: '50s and '60s of the home really replacing many of the sort of public-realm functions - from the living room or the family room to the outdoor patio. • Kitchen + dinning: The idea of the kitchen-dining room becomes a social center space, where we live, we also eat, and we also cook. stove and the fridge go from cream to white. When your kitchen is white, you can see the dirt and crumbs — and get rid of them.
Living Narrative. From Google Map. Retrieved from https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-reservoir-429766322
Suburban Response 02 Living Narrative Modern: â&#x20AC;˘ Entry: Walking through the front garden and steps, vegetations or pavement suggest a sense of arrival. With undercover porch. â&#x20AC;˘ Living: Wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows combined with blank walls and small windows like punched holes â&#x20AC;˘ Kitchen + dinning: Open plan kitchen with modern kitchen bench, direction connection between kitchen and dining.
Living Narrative. From Google Map. Retrieved from https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-doncaster-430010210
Suburban Response 03 Form & Materiality Post-War: • Triple Fronted Brick Veneer • Incorporation of carport or garage into house and increasing use of double garages, often with painted doors • Minimal use of decorative flourishes; often expressed in mass produced elements such as brick / stone feature walls or chimneys, wrought iron porch posts / railings and wire mesh doors • Emergence of brick veneer replacing double brick • Chimneys still common
Post-War. From Real estate. Retrieved from https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-reservoir-429766322
Suburban Response 03 Form & Materiality Modern: • Walls in bold rectilinear or sometimes in other geometric shapes • Flat roofs • Occasional bold, curved elements like a spiral stair, driveway, or garden wall • Wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows combined with blank walls and small windows like punched holes • Houses sometimes raised above ground on thin columns, so that they seem to float • Flat plaster walls with minimal cornices the only ornament, textured wood, stone or wallpaper sometimes used on feature walls

We Accommodate Art A place to allow artist to perceive time, and capture time in art.
Retrieved from http://www. australiacouncil.gov.au/research/making-art-work/, Copyright 2017 by making art work.
Incomes of Artists. From MAKING ART WORK: AN ECONOMIC STUDY OF PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS IN AUSTRALIA
• Problem to be addressed: In this speed, money-driven society, creativity is not valued enough. Creative professionals’ incomes are unstable, so it is common for artists to engage in non-arts commitments to making a living wage. Based on the “Make Art Work” research (Incomes of Artists, 2017), the income of creative professionals from creative work in their chosen profession is far below that earned by similarly qualified practitioners in other professions. 62% of their incomes are sourced from non-arts commitments. Due to the busy working schedule, artists are struggling to make a balance between creative practices and living wedge and do not have time to slow down and embrace the creative inspirations in daily moments. For creative professionals, time is not money, time is art. • The Project: Based in Melbourne, one of the world’s top 10 creative cities, We Accommodate Art (WAA) is an affordable, inspiring co-housing model for creative professionals to work and live in the middle suburbs of Melbourne. It is proposed to free the artists from money, speed-driven society, allowing them to work on creative practices in a relaxing environment and evoking the perception of time in artists’ daily life to inspire their creative processes and help them to build up creative social network.

Affordability
Step 1 - Interior Layout • A detailed layout plan of the interior will be developed based on space adaptability and ESD strategies. The spatial relationship analyzed in this assignment will be introduced into the interior layout, such as level-change, flexible space divider. • The interior threshold spaces will be further developed as a ‘social condenser’. A gallery space will be introduced to create a ‘talking point’ for residents.
Step 2- Fenestration • The location, size, shading devices will be developed based on passive design strategies to cut down the bills by introducing natural light and ventilation. • The expression and shading device of the window will be further integrated with the ‘time as inspiration’ idea. How to use shading devices to cast a dynamic shadow to imply the change of time? How to invite light into different spaces based on the time of operation?
Step 3- Materiality • Greater focus on the expression of the building by researching a range of material to link the expression with the concept. How to further integrate the building with post-war typology as a response to context? • Implementing the affordable construction system and materiality that could make the building to be more affordable for creative professionals.
Mid-sem Feedback Review Week8
Mid-Semester Feedback
Feedback 1- Don't miss the dynamic precedents of artists community-Simplify the building envelope and allow artist to take over the spaces • Artists' Community Precedent Research • How to build in the precedents to maximize creativities? Feedback 2- Affordability cannot only be a vague slogan (It is important to the client group) • Affordable Housing Precedent Research • Detailed Methodology regarding affordable issue • If want to explain it in ESD aspect, energy rating maybe need to be done. Feedback 3- Affordability cannot be in the same basket with Creativity? • Artists' Community Precedent Research regarding affordability issue. Feedback 4- Structure of Presentation need to be more clear for people first time to listen it. • Avoid too many things going on Feedback 5- Practical aspect (corridor, Carpark, orientation...) • Set a goal of eliminating corridor • Promote new transportation mode?-Nightingale
Self - Reflection What parts you think you have done well or worked well with the process so far? What Parts you think could be improved? Articulate the consequences of your work? How does you work fit into the research you have done? How did you make decisions and what impact did it have on your proposal? My working process: Week 1-2 Understand the brief: where to build (middle suburb of Melbourne); why we build (Find a way to densify middle suburb of Melbourne and control the urban sprawl boundary). Week 3 Find the Client, Define Individual Brief: who would like to live in the middle suburb and could bring benefit to the middle suburb? (Decide to design for the creative professionals: 1. They would like to live in the capital city as it has more opportunities of creative jobs. 2. They need affordable housing to make a balance between living wage and creative work) 3. They can promote the suburban gentrification process and help with local creative economy) At that point, the main focuses are just generic points from the brief- focus more on affordability, not creativity. Week 4 Program Analysis (start to consider the creativity of the project): what is the artist lifestyle? What are the artists’ creative process? Examples of artists’ studios and houses was been researched based on the size and style. Workflow of artists have been analyzed and summarized based on research. - Design Reflection: The idea of incompleteness is generated from the key findings- A place wait to be inhabited and customized by the creative professionals. They will create unique link to the house. At week4, the main focuses are creativity, suddenly forgot everything of affordability. But, fortunately, the idea of incompleteness has the potential to be linked with affordability. – “The incompleteness addresses the issue of over-finished but unaffordable housing supply, also contribute to the creative customization process”. Week 5 Site Response (identify the site approach of design, the art veranda idea comes out from the previous findings on the working flow of creative professionals) Looking through current options and precedents of housing. 4 site approaches differentiated by the location of art verandas is generated. The idea of adapting spaces to time-change came out, when considering the use of space. The art veranda idea plays an important role to apply the concept in the site scale. Week 6 Context Analysis and Dwelling Mix The research of current typology in the middle suburbs are analysed (both post-war and contemporary) try to simulate the living narrative and response to the streetscape-triple fronted veneer apply to the art veranda to showcase artworks. Dwelling size are defined based the 3600*3600mm grid system- try to link back to the affordability, prepare for easy construction system. where the location of art studios in response to the art veranda? The spatial relationship of room unit is analysed, but not yet well integrated. At this point, everything was a little bit rushed toward mid-semester review, previous ideas are there but not yet be linked well.

WAA Response & Case Study: • Use shared space (such as exhibition spaces, co-working spaces,workshops, productive gardens, and shared laundries) to create a strong link within the community and celebrate the community identity. • Try to create visual connections to promote social interactions. • Utilize communal circulation spaces to provide informal social interactions.
