Our process

01

Immerse

We immerse ourselves in your local government and community through site audits, focus group discussions, and workshops. This phase is all about digging deeper to guarantee a community-centric approach and a strong sense of place.

02

Synthesise

We synthesise all the data we’ve collected into reports, strategic plans, and sustainable design concepts and then review them.

03

Ideate

Looking through the lens of your community and housing needs, we develop a comprehensive master plan that includes our initial cost estimates.

04

Empower

We create a constructive, barrier-free environment where you’re encouraged to share your ideas and co-design your community housing so it resonates with local requirements and your budget.

05

Create

We polish the design and then work closely with the construction teams to bring your community housing project to life, handling any challenges along the way with a positive attitude.
