This project represents the culmination of the residential design training received in the first half of the Advanced Diploma of Building Design at RMIT. Being the earliest capstone project for the degree it is the smallest in scope, however due to this I was able to most effectively explore several ideas I was playing with at the time, most distinctly the concept of Melbourne architectural identity.
The design brief required a two storey construction that would serve a high income family of three looking to move into a Fitzroy home that was connected to the culture and style of Fitzroy and greater Melbourne. The primary goal of this brief was to incentivize students to explore the unique architecture that was within Fitzroy with a generous budget however what became more apparent as the project went on the strict building regulations that come from high density projects such as this one.
