DENSITY DONE WELL

DEFINING DENSITY

Victoria’s population is forecast to grow to over 10 million people by 2051.

For each case study, the metric applied is Site Density, calculated as dwellings per hectare.

Denser housing models are required across a range of scales and types to address this challenge and to create liveable homesand neighbourhoods.

We’ve defined here the various ways in which density can be calculated:

A comprehensive solution to the housing crisis demands the centring of good design – which brings us to Density Done Well.

Density Done Well means more:

Site Density Net Density Gross Density

Residential block only – calculated within the site boundary Residential blocks plus local roads Residential blocks plus local roads, commercial and retail precincts, schools, and open public space including parks

Exhibition overview: Curated by the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects, Density Done Well is an exhibition showcasing a selection of architecturally designed housing projects across Victoria to demonstrate how density can be successfully delivered.

Key data has been collected from selected projects to demonstrate diverse approaches: case studies range in size, height and type.

Comparative analysis makes clear that well designed denser housing can be delivered in various forms – with each demonstrating a positive contribution to both residents and neighbourhoods.

The exhibition unpacks the real-world aspects of liveability and puts the resident experience front and centre to sponsor the question we should all be asking: Would you choose to live here?

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

The site is a rare pocket for development in an area with significant heritage and cultural value. Separate pavilions, linked by a common basement, allow a higher level of amenity to the dwellings internally, alongside view corridors through the project to the broader landscape beyond.

Landscape design was incredibly important, this separation of the pavilions enabling experientially rich public and private interfaces. Topography was used to lower the sense of building mass to the street, with the number of levels increasing as the project moved down the slope.

St Albans Housing is a new type of small apartment specifically designed for the elderly and those needing assistance with daily life. The building establishes a replicable and affordable model for fully accessible apartment accommodation suited to typical middle-suburban sites.

The design aims to provide dignified, affordable and liveable spaces for a group of residents who spend much of their time at home, with an emphasis on amenity, generosity, flexibility, outdoor and communal space.

Accessible

All apartments exceed accessibility standards.

Davison Collaborative project by Archier is a sustainable urban housing initiative developed by three couples pooling their expertise in architecture, sustainability, and construction. The project features three townhouses built using SIPS for high insulation, solar panels, and a Sonnen battery for energy efficiency. With an 8 Star NatHERS rating, the design integrates passive design principles, prioritizing thermal performance and sustainability.

Environmentally-conscious design, focused on long-term performance, reflects a future-focused approach to affordable, sustainable living.

On this approximatey 100sqm site, we have a house we now share as a family of five people.

At 28sqm per person, every corner of the site is used and the house supports intense activity at times. The baby slept in a robe for a few years, it was dark and quiet, and this worked.

If we want expanse, we go to the park, or camping at the beach. When we are home we are mostly together, sharing space, and for us this feels good in our busy and often distracted lives.

Previously home to the Fitzroy Nursery for over 40 years, locals have come to know and love this place as a verdant and open-air respite within the tough urban fabric of the high street. The Nursery on Brunswick is a mixed-used building with retail, commercial and residential tenancies that all benefit from the red brick, north facing atrium-like garden at the centre of site. Countering more typical yield-focused developments in the area, the atrium prioritises quality of amenity over maximum density, providing light, greenery, garden views and amenity to both tenants and the public realm.

Rushall Park builds on the legacy of Victoria’s oldest retirement village, delivering 35 dwellings across three buildings on its final site. Once used for sheds and car parks, the constrained block faced the railway and bordered a village of low, picturesque cottages. The design offers a respectful counterpoint – tapered upper roofs reduce perceived height, softening the transition to single-storey neighbours. Materials and motifs reinterpret the past without mimicry.

The result adds density with care, preserving the distinct character and human scale of the long-established village setting.

The redevelopment of this Homes Victoria site at Dunlop Avenue Ascot Vale has more than doubled the previous density and is configured as six separate three level buildings to fit comfortably within a residential neighbourhood.

The buildings are arranged around mature existing trees to create high amenity public, communal and private spaces to encourage social interaction. Further, the separate building footprints increase the permeability of light and ventilation, and improve biophilic connections to the surrounding environment.

This integrated community replaces outdated walk-up units with a 50/50 blend of ‘tenure blind’ social and affordable housing across six buildings. The precinct is designed to foster equity, community, and neighbourhood interaction: a raised grassy podium between the buildings provides a place of congregation and connection, while a series of outdoor ‘lobbies’ are designed to maximise play.

A laneway with limited traffic access is further designed to encourage social interactions through street furniture, lawn areas and art opportunities.

The High Street Apartments, located in Thornbury, Melbourne, is a mixed-use building, with thirteen apartments above a ground floor carpark and restaurant fronting High Street. The building incorporated mass timber construction along with a range of sustainable design and construction approaches.

The approach to the apartment design was to create a collection of stacked homes, each with its own sense of presence, unique layout and design that responds to its particular outlook and orientation.

This development of 74 dual-aspect apartments and church facilities targeted owner occupiers and is designed to foster neighbourly connection. Shared outdoor open walkways, internal courtyards, and a communal rooftop garden offer additional habitable spaces. The project centres on a courtyard where people engage with their neighbours, relax and pause for a chat. A number of church-run affordable apartments for key workers were delivered as part of the project.

A house is part of the street is part of the suburb is part of the city. The quality of each piece matters in the making of the greater composite that is a neighbourhood. Balfe Park Lane comprises 72 dwellings along with some co-work and commercial space that aims to use the development of dwellings to build the street and improve the neighbourhood. In this way housing projects have the opportunity for mutual positive benefit, with opportunities for considerable urban, suburban, and ecological improvement.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

A precinct approach informed by community engagement creates a “village” of 7 buildings (between 3 and 12 levels) with tenure types intertwined across the site, sharing views and access to amenity equitably.

The 434 social and private apartments (build-to-rent) were delivered under a unique procurement and PPP model.

A consistent but varied materials palette provides each building with identity, while uniting them under a cohesive design language. Open spaces retain existing mature trees while a “village green” extends the Council’s through-suburb green link.

An east-west orientation maximises natural light and cross-ventilation, reducing the need for heating and cooling while open walkways and a rooftop garden with barbecue and fireplace connect neighbours.

Nine Smith St is a six level mixed use development of 41 one, two and three bedroom apartments in Fitzroy. The building has been designed to support a small community that knits into the existing neighbourhood whilst demonstrating the core criteria for good apartment design. Well-considered internal planning provides all the functionality and liveability of a house, albeit within a smaller space. The building is simple and robust, with an emphasis on materiality and simple forms selected for longevity.

The building boasts a high thermal envelope, a 5-star Green Star rating, and uses low-carbon, locally sourced materials. Its efficient design includes stacked floor plates and repetitive building elements. Prioritizing community, the project offers shared spaces such as a rooftop, bathhouse, dining area, and parklet, fostering connection and sustainability.

38 Albermarle Street, Kensington is the first project delivered through Assemble Futures, a new model bridging renting and home ownership. The design centres on community, with shared spaces for work, dining, and leisure on the ground and upper floors. A mixed-use ground level fosters engagement with the neighbourhood through locally informed retail tenancies.

At its heart is a landscaped, open-air walkway that brings cross-ventilation, natural light, and a strong indoor-outdoor connection to all homes, encouraging interaction and connection among residents.

Inspired by the silos that once dominated Collingwood’s skyline, these apartments absorb the stories and history of its locale. The resident experience of the balconies which draw upon this form is influenced by their position and the time of day. The sweeping curves push out and pull back, provide shade and frame a view.

At the base of the tower is the original brickwork of a 1920’s art deco style brick warehouse. By allowing the context to spark ideas, this post-industrial suburb is re-imagined whilst remaining connected to its history.
