This project discusses the potential applications of offsite manufacturing to go beyond perceived limits of reusable and sustainable buildings.

This social housing building design utilises prefabrication and modular constructions that contribute to the low-cost construction cost and renders housing to b more affordable within the Australian market.

Inspired by the social structure of honeybees and their relationship with the world around them, the Hive is a social housing project aimed at enacting lasting change through Care, Belonging, and Learning. It is the intention of this project not just to provide dwellings for lower socio-economic groups but to provide the foundation for them to grow and help others.

Situated in the suburb of Midland, Perth; this project works to address this issue whilst tackling the burgeoning affordable housing crisis facing Australia and Perth in particular.

We are currently at a junction where it is imperative that we design with the intent of net zero.

This project aims to create a precedent for future construction and housing, challenging the current trend of onsite construction that uses heavy materials with high embodied energy such as bricks and aluminum.

This project embodies many design ideals that collectively work in unison to deliver Architecture holistically, with an aim to address current and future issues surrounding social housing for the homeless and demands for more affordable living.
