With a background in business and marketing, Yann Tan integrates these skills and perspectives into her architecture studies. In the Land In(equalities) studio, she investigated the challenge of urban sprawl arising from the current low-density, “business-as-usual” housing model, and explored a medium-density alternative for the studio’s case study site in Cranbourne Botanic Ridge.

Moments at Apartment A: Level 2 North-Facing Balcony and East-Facing Corridor

A spacious balcony provides residents with a place to relax and enjoy the view, natural light, and fresh air, while also supporting ecology through planted greenery.
