The design challenge is located in Halswell, south west of the Christchurch City Centre. It is set to
become one of the busiest suburbs in Christchurch by 2030 with more than 40,826 people, 14,000homes, and one of the fastest growing area in the city. At present, it has a population of 14,680and 6,000 homes. The local lifestyle has a strong sense of community with emphasis on communityevents. There are also an abundance of recreational and sports opportunities in Halswell. Geo-
graphically, it is surrounded by generous green fields on the east and west that contributes to Hals-well’s ruraland suburban character. Halswellwas not significantly affected by the 2011 earthquake.
The current Halswelltown centre consists of a supermarket and a limited number of retail stores
with no public gathering spaces, while the busy HalswellRoad cuts across residentialhomes andthe town centre with no pedestrian path ways. This is dangerous and discourages pedestrians fromgathering in the town centre. People mainly shop at nearby shopping malls such as the Hornby Mall,Barrington Mallor the Tower Junction Mega Centre. The Halswell town centre needs to be developed
for localshopper convenience and needs to provide attractive gathering spaces for the community.
Through a series of research and site visits, we have identified a number of problematic issues that
can be resolved by thoughtfularchitecturaldesign. One of the main issue is the mismatch betweendemographics and housing typologies, as most houses are 3 bedrooms houses while there is a hugeamount of single person and couples. As a result they are forced to live in a 3 bedroom house whichthe use of land becomes ineffective. With population increasing in the future, newhousing typologies
must be introduced to create denser centre that willbe a more enjoyable living environment for dif-ferent types of people.
