This is a social house project designed to help families with income problem. Through the conversion between residential buildings and commercial buildings on the site, it creates opportunities for residents to start their own businesses. The layout like a maze and local businesses bring social vitality to the community. Each unit has a separate floor and is equipped with a separate entrance, which ensures the privacy of residents. The ubiquitous public green spaces provide residents with social opportunities.

The growing desire to work together in achieving greater results has never been more important and valuable than it is today. Working in collaboration has always resulted in better ideas whilst increasing networking, this is a result of our ability to bounce ideas off each other in an environment which encourages it. Providing young individuals in creative industries a more effective collaborative environment is beneficial in allowing for the fluidity of ideas to be beneficial to all whilst considering factors such as cost and convenience.

The Fitz hub allows for this special interaction to be a part of daily life and work, hosting a range of shared living propositions and workspaces scattered across the site allowing  collaborative living to become  a reality.

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.

A student housing that values connectivity, sustainability and authenticating the city of North Fitzroy through design. The project aims to encourage socialisation and interaction through spaces like hubs, commercial spaces, and the streets in between, assisting in students to feel connected with others. Kitchen/garden hub is where the students are encouraged to connect through gardening, cooking, and dining together. By designing a space that allows for these activities to occur at one place multiplies the opportunities of interaction. The hubs are very open and engaging, porous in the interior as all activities can be viewed by anyone and therefore interacted with everyone.

The name of the project is Growth and Sedimentation, because the design is based on the integration of greenery and medium density housing, and the abstract feature of the project is that the life of a person is to absorb, grow and sediment, just like the natural growth of plants. People add thickness to their lives by growing throughout their lives, and so do plants (the soil is the basis for natural sedimentation). In an abstract sense, the growth of both is one layer on top of another, and  people and life are gradually becoming closer and closer. Through this project, I want to express the hope that no matter how the world changes, we can live together in harmony, friendliness and kindness

This project is retire-village - individual living unit, chose this theme because the world is aging more and more, and I wanted to design a place that would really help people and make them feel comfortable someday in the future. Also, In the era of the Covid, the vacancy rate in high-density areas is high. So one of the questions is how to plan the future of the city in a way that ensures safety and space for people to move freely, after all, the fundamental reason people build cities is to create and share spaces where people can meet. So we need to have the convenience of the city, but also a sense of community and a sense of being in nature.

During the 1970s, although North Fitzroy was regarded as a slums area filled with crime and prostitution, however a strong sense of community formed in the laneways between the many Victorian terrace houses. As the North Fitzroy enters the 21st century, the process of gentrification has severed this delicate community fabric and Fitzroy has became just another suburban area.

# data[].attributes.body
This projects aims create opportunities for interactions by weaving in the essence of the old community; recognised as the interactions within the laneways and  natural reserves to create an architecture fabric that authenticate the local heritage, generous to the community and create opportunities for interactions and exchanges through designing a series of connected building clusters that create various laneway, piazza and roof terraces.

The Fitzroy hub caters to  the saturated amount of single individuals living in and around the inner suburbs of melbourne to utilize the opportunities of the site with the main one being the close proximity of the CBD. The social hub will help single individuals develop friendships,  connections promoting a greater development of ideas through shared living and work in the environment it provides.
With shared living being- the main focus, the  question of affordability becomes a reality with smaller private spaces allowing for larger public spaces decreasing the cost of living and increasing potential for growth. The potential for these individuals to then further start families can also be facilitated as the larger units that cater for shared living can be utilised by a family.

The goal of this project is to establish a community where individuals can connect, exchange, and learn from one another. Before the 1980s, the neighbourhood was populated by labourers, tradesmen, and technicians. The area was impoverished, which has been a key element of Fitzroy's fabric of life from its founding. The suburb, like most of the inner city, was formerly known for its criminal activities. Once home to an intriguing mix of factory workers, students, artists, and recently arriving migrants, the neighbourhood has grown more gentrified.

The design of this project takes its form from the green roof and ecofriendly shared spaces that are integrated with the building. They are created in stacks or staggered to maximize sunlight and promote ventilation. The stacking of green roofs allows residents to enjoy the greenery outside even their private spaces. Each residence will surrounded a courtyard garden, and the space around the garden will become a place of circulation and interaction between residents.

Through this project, I hope to assist the community by bringing people working as labourers, tradesmen, and technicians back to the area, as they once did, by constructing medium-density housing and adapting ideas from North Fitzoy's laneways, which were once used by horse carts for house services and can now be used by pedestrians to access their modules, with a touch of greenspace to encourage visitors to join the community.

The first immigrants of Australia were typically Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh, and by 1860 Fitzroy had the most immigrants out of any Victorian Suburb, with 70 percent of the suburbs population immigrant. Most of the Fitzroy population lived in workers housing. This trend continued up until the end of the second world war where many European refugees began to Australia, Australia at the time encouraged European refugees as part of the populate or perish campaign an attempt to bring more industriously skilled workers to keep Australia up with an industrial world. These European immigrants filled areas like Fiztory where cheap working housing was available.

It could be argued that how Fitzroy got to its bohemian culture today was made possible by its cheap affordability that was made possible by its original working-class population that immigrants soon after filled.  Throughout Fitzroys history different communities have come and gone through the space bringing with them a range of cultures that have shaped into today’s culture. Fitzroy is no longer the affordable place it once was, which allowed it filled with a multitude of culture although today Fitzroy is still quite a culturally engaged place filled with street art, many bars and restaurants line its main road. The aim of the project is to provide affordable housing for immigrants moving to Australia, in an attempt to spark some new culture into the area continuing Fitzroy’s diverse cultural exchange resist its slow development into a gentrified state.

Habitat Green is a medium density housing proposal that aims to continue the existing culture and demographic of Fitzroy North, with an introduction of more biophilic tendencies and the overall feeling of being immersed in nature and it’s greenery. This experience is established through the inclusion of private atriums, shared courtyards and a communal greenhouse accessible to residents on the site to further continue the feeling of ‘community togetherness’.
