The original intention of designing this community is to increase people's connection through architecture and to ensure personal privacy. Different edge conditions and porosity conditions make the building less rigid, but can make the space flow and connect. The design uses an overlay-style building and constructs a roof activity area that connects more than three buildings. People can travel freely through this community not only on the ground, but also on the roof.

The Lungs of Fitzroy provides affordable housing for the community of North Fitzroy. This development consists of many different infrastructures – a community fitness centre and rooftop pool, farming spaces, outdoor cinema, gym, community centre and an external multipurpose courtyard. The aim of this development is to increase social interaction and increase intimacy and connectivity and engage the community through urban farming procedures and activities. By having a central courtyard between each apartment unit, easy renovations can be made to increase intergenerational living within the community.

The green shell which wrap around each structure filter and provides fresh air to the surrounding environment acting as ‘ The Lungs of Fitzroy’. Planter boxes and rooftop farming spaces give tenants and the community the opportunity to plant and harvest their own produce. The greenhouse provides the space of the harvesting of crops and also where knowledge of the importance of sustainable urban farming methodologies can be shared.

The concept of interactive system is to combine the house organically through the interlaced space design, so that the community planning forms a grand communication network.

Located in the inner-city suburb of Melbourne, North Fitzroy’s tram depot site proposes a development of medium density housing. The intention is to reinvent the nature of the site to facilitate a community enriched with diverse demographics, which bridges a connection between the residents and the wider community.
The proposed design aims to accommodate for its surrounding streetscapes by applying architecture that facilitates and reinvents the nature of its edge to further bind its civic effect from the individual site into its wider context.

The Fitzroy Village Project is an urban living environment which strives to provide the community with spaces to interact, socialise and congregate, on a site whose surroundings desperately need it. Through a series of cascading urban plaza's and terraced gardens, along with modular and versatile housing, office and commercial solutions, the project provides residents and visitors alike with a porous and environmentally beneficial space to occupy and flourish within as the needs of the community evolve and change over time.

Green Generosity is aimed to increase interaction with nature and communicate with the the community. Where thresholds are created between room to room when one moves from one private space to an exposed threshold back to a private space. These thresholds are made to both interact with the surrounding community and nature allowing flora to grow internally and externally, creating both shading systems and privacy frames. These thresholds although engage with nature also allows you to communicate with the community due to the exposed nature due to its porous nature.

The project aims to create spaces for both residents and the public that encourage civic identity and civic pride to be formed that could be celebrated of as a community.

The Nexus breaks through the preconceived notions of private and public within typical suburban homes. The project acts as an ultimate catalysis for community exchange and social interactions through opportunistic elements of porosity and nature.  The provision of delightful spaces ultimately exemplifies invitation and influence for community members to interact and connect with one another.

The site program for the Green-Nest is designed to enable people to interconnect with each other, light & shadow as well as nature  through the different edge conditions. the site is to provide affordable, public and social housing which can enhance the housing diversity, livability and social interaction in North Fitzroy.

Fitzroy Regen is a community vertical farm that will grow greens on a small footprint to harvest ratio. This vertical garden that feeds the community and teaches young to care for and learn to provide for their community, is not an urban resilient platform but rather an urban adaptation program. Adaptation to future starts with caring for the future.

Architecture clothes the culture of the city; architecture prompts the city’s imagination and has a profound impact on civic amenity. The proliferation of human activity in our cities has given rise to the nature of cities as a place of

exchange and surplus, a place for Urban Generosity.

It is argued that we as architects create our urban existence and in turn our cities create us, it’s a cyclical and symbiotic relationship. The nature of our cities create who we become.
Urban Generosity is an exploration of how we can develop a series of architectonic outcomes to encourage civic surplus.

The studio commenced through the observation of the local and defined the architectural nature of the place in which the architectural outcome is housed,  becoming a process of discovery, in how architecture can extend beyond an object/place paradigm, into a place of civic surplus.

The studio outcomes developed a body of work that explored the opportunities architecture and its context can give and be given, by the immediate community it inhabits, exploring the development of how life and form are intrinsically linked.

Investigating Biophilic Design, the studio explored  how architecture develops a connection to nature and the impact this has on our physiological well being and sustainable world.

In our increasingly alienating world, this  project recognizes the social aspect of communities and calls for an urban toolkit that is generous in providing interstitial spaces for engagement.
