Residential
Architecture’s most intimate expression is the home. From affordable housing, single dwellings and mixed-use precincts, we take a restorative approach to each site, its context and its community.
Our design strategies encourage the sharing of resources and energy production across a community. Our interiors connect people to natural light, air and landscape, for personal wellbeing and greater social connection.
Our residential experience includes:
- Co-living
- Student housing
- Social housing
- Affordable housing
- Seniors living
- Multi-unit residential
- Mixed-use developments
- Single dwellings
