This project was an alternative approach to the current housing built by Habitat for Humanity New Zealand. It is a non-profit organisation that works in partnership with people of goodwill and families in housing need, to eliminate sub-standard housing. I wanted to address the importance of sustainable design to decrease operational energy costs and through sharing of resources such as washing machines. Through efficient
design, utilising renewable technologies, maximising the natural resource such as the rain and the sun, the medium housing complex not only reduces urban sprawl but becomes self-sufficient.
