"More than Just a house" is project from the inner outliers class which the conceptual framework is built around the idea of merging an institutional and suburban-type of housing into one inclusive and dignified house for the elderly in Richmond.
The house acts as an expansion of the Richmond conventional weatherboard house family. The existing weatherboard houses in Richmond were mainly designed for workers and young families back in 1800. This house will challenge the usual inhabitant of this conventional house into a house that could also be used for the elderly with disabilities.
