The design of a group housing project is considered with an emphasis on: the social and physical relationship between houses; the privacy gradient between public and private spaces; and use of the environment to facilitate good living environments.
| Objectives | 1. Develop design strategies for group housing in relation to: the regulatory factors affecting its form, and its environmental and social context. 2. Provide conceptual and detailed strategies for how the external spaces around houses, in close proximity to each other, maintain privacy while creating a sense of community between the residents. 3. Develop an awareness of group housing as an architectural type, by studying and reflecting upon precedents. 4. Creatively engage the project brief. 5. Develop a detailed design for part of a dwelling. 6. Clear communication of a conceptual and detailed design for group housing. |
