While Melbourne’s major activity centres have seen dramatic increases in density over the last two decades, and outer suburban growth remains a part of the housing mix, it is increasingly clear that the middle suburbs have an important part to play in housing our growing population. This, however, must be done carefully. We must ensure that any changes to established residential areas result in increased public and residential amenity. This is where design fits in.

This Competition is the Student iteration of the two phase Future Homes Project currently being undertaken by DELWP and OVGA, with the industry competition culminating in October.

The Student Competition invites our future designers to prepare exemplar designs for apartment buildings that will be replicable in middle suburban Melbourne environments. With less constraints than the industry competition, students are encouraged to demonstrate how to rethink the way we live in our established suburbs.
