Social Housing

Tristan Wong has extensive experience working on Social Housing projects. He has worked extensively with Homes Victoria, and numerous other housing providers, agencies and operators within Victoria.

The importance of creating livable, connected, and integrated communities in these contexts is paramount. Designing in a nuanced and authentic way that provides residents the highest levels of amenity, and the greatest sense of pride of their home is equally paramount.

Such projects need to be designed to be highly sustainable, both for the environments benefit, but also for the residents benefit - the wellbeing benefits of spaces designed that breathe and function in harmony with the environment cannot be understated, nor the value to residents in reduced bills and fees through better designed building envelopes and robust passive design measures.

Importantly too, such buildings need to be designed with materials that last! Materials that age gracefully, and that balance the competing challenges of longevity, quality, and cost.

The projects presented here were designed and completed whilst at SJB where Tristan was Director and design lead for 7 years.
