How can medium density living be reimagined? | Birthesel Wittingslow | DOA Guest Lecture
Join us for a lecture hosted by the Department of Architecture, Monash University.
This guest lecture is presented by Birthesel Wittingslow Architects.
The Northcote Townhouses transforms an underutilised inner-suburban site into three sanctuary-like dwellings that sensitively responds to the streetscape and deliver unexpected scale and amenity. Three couples—neighbours, friends, and peers in the industry—came together as a consortium to redevelop the site into family homes. Small scale single residential interventions offer an imaginative alternative to conventional medium density one that prioritises liveability, longevity and connection.
The Department of Architecture Guest Lecture Series presents diverse guests who visit us to talk, teach and research the complexities of architecture today.
