The competition brief was for 50 low cost dwellings on a large site well serviced by transport and road infrastructure.
The response drew from the surrounding building typology, and formulated a configuration that would not appear repetitious though still achieve cost effectiveness in its construction.

A philosophy of E-C-SD, Environmental, Cultural, & Sustainable Development, was embraced in this proposal.
Ecologically Sustainable Design (ESD) is a popular pursuit in urban planning today, new sustainable formulas are commonly generated and re-generated to match new technologies
in waste and water management, energy and environmental conservation and resource friendly building materials. All aim to integrate an effortless and invisible series of systems into our current building typology. In undertaking this project EME Design intended, not to hide, but rather to celebrate these sustainable theories, integrating them with the social fabric of a community. They assembled their project entry on the premise of Ecologically and Culturally Sustainable Design.

> Wind Break - Create air gap between cool winter winds & building envelopes
> Self Sufficiency & Environmental Tell Tale by produce grown on site- beyond self sufficiency is the imposition of responsibility for environment by literally eat it - harvest traditions
> Orientation to Individual Houses via varying Signature Trees
> Perennial Vegetation performing the following roles; - seasonal climactic
- acknowledgement of annual rythm - placeful variation in time, space &
colour> Merging with surrounding gardens
> Enclosed Building: Wind Shadowing by planing & wind deflecting rooves & shared walls reduces heating requirements
> External Public & Private Spaces: Increase use of external areas (socialising), enjoying meeting others in public space, encouraging walking & having an extended summer in temperamental temperate climate.
> Hard landscaping ground water to social hub is collected in retention tanks and used for garden reticulation and reducing demand on public infrastructure
> Illustrate not bury infrastructure, allow residences to understand and enjoy water movement
Access Strategies
> Hard landscaping to social hub is collected in retention tanks and used for garden reticulation and reducing demand on public infrastructure
> Illustrate not bury infrastructure, allow residences to understand and enjoy water movement
Social and Movement Strategies
Social: provision of a destination that houses groups and individuals with choice of interaction and exposure to others.
Movement: accommodation of ; passive and active, purposeful and meandering, distraction and determined, and public and private.
The design features both a linear, visually revealed, quick transit route into the site, with the choice of a meandering route, slower, more peaceful journey.
> Illustrate and create awareness of the preciousness of water via aerial aqueducts to common collection points
> Evolution not Revolution: develop within the character of the vicinity promoting community acceptance & patronage.
> Strategies include; - placing new structures on ground
benching characteristic of area. - merging with surrounding built
massing includes: break up proposed massing to south
east to be in unison with existing out buildings increasing to dwelling proper

DWELLING TYPE “A”ONE BEDROOM TYPICAL
LOCALLY DISTINCTIVE ACTIVE ENERGY SOURCEDue to the sites inherent qualities including;- northern aspect- steep topographyA thermo siphon system including the capacity to retain water inside a header (top of site) battery tank, is a placeful alternative energy source particular to this site. The header tank/water battery retains some of the reticu-lated siphon water from a lower tank propelled by con-ducted water heated during the day by solar panels. After dusk, the water battery is slowly released down the incline thru a turbine to the bottom tank, creating electri-cal power. After dawn the bottom tank is slowly emptied into the header tank once again.
