Featured as part of the Density Done Well Exhibition 2025 displayed a Parliament House, Brickworks Design Studio and selected regional locations.
The Housing Committee of the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects collected a diverse range of housing projects from across Victoria that have demonstrated a successful approached to Housing density.
Designed for two brothers and their families, the Geelong Townhouses project is an infill development with a considered response to orientation not typical of developer driven projects. In response to a south facing backyard, the floor plan wraps a central courtyard, which allows for sunlight to penetrate the middle of the footprint. The ‘link’ adjacent to the courtyard enhances this light court effect and provides connection to other spaces. This approach proved an effective way to break down the visual bulk for neighbours.
Theis project recently appeared as a visual on the social media of the Premier of Victoria Jacinta Allan, as an example of successful medium density housing projects.
This led to the projects inclusion in the Density Done Well exhibition curated by the Australian Institute of Architects Victorian Housing Committee.
