Our design investigates the possibility of creating an extroverted multiple residence apartment stack which exploits the external volumes as shared resources (for light and ventilation) that encourage a vibrant, socially connected, urbane lifestyle while still fulfilling the need for privacy and individuality. As a suburban single family residence, the design of such residences usually follows a typology of the introverted courtyard home that prioritises high levels of privacy and maximisation of covered floor plate. With each plot functioning as a fortified unit of the urban fabric, social rapports with neighbours are restricted to conversations across the shared boundary walls.
The sheltered sunken court, cantilevered verandah and roof top terrace garden provide each apartment its own private outdoor space. Each apartment has been designed to be a unique home but one that encourages a socially vibrant lifestyle.
The animated play in volumes and voids is further fleshed out with the juxtaposition of materials and textures. Surface cladding patterns are detailed to respond to the introduction of voids and fenestrations.
