The proposed project is situated within Logan Central, under the management of the Logan City Council. It is positioned at the southern edge of the Brisbane City Council area, a mere 30-minute drive away. The primary objective is to enhance both the density and availability of affordable housing, with a particular focus on women aged 45 and above. This endeavor is a collaborative effort with the Older Women Organisations (HOW), which are committed to providing affordable, high-quality, and sustainable living arrangements for individuals of all age groups, with a special emphasis on older women. Hence, the project proposes an affordable housing design that seeks to augment density in Logan Central while offering older women suitable housing options. This design introduces a new community comprising 18 new dwellings, along with a communal house and ample outdoor spaces for residents to share.

In the program, I had the privilege of learning directly from seasoned craftsmen and Indigenous elders, engaging in activities such as Bulmba construction, stone masonry, timber joinery, architectural drawing, and delving into the rich history of Australia’s traditional landowners. Additionally, I conducted research on traditional Aboriginal shelter architecture following the intensive program. These collective experiences greatly augmented my architectural knowledge and skills, equipping me with a robust foundation for real-world project applications.
