Something like a house

Without narrative or extra-disciplinary concepts, we look closely at the suburban flat typology. Here we observe, remark and speculate on the obvious and overlooked aspects of a familiar-ish typology…the six-pack apartment. In doing so, we do not seek to perpetuate its existence in the suburbs, but reconsider its present viability and near future, subtly.  Through a healthy compromise with reality, a re-evaluation of density, ecology, function and comfort will drive our lines of enquiry. For us, the non-typical and unconventional are not synonymous with the unlivable or impractical, but rather critical and careful propositions. Well organised, but still a bit ambiguous, the final outcome will hope to re-perceive the way we see the suburban flat, which could maybe appear something like a house...for 12ish.
