Housing Guidelines for High-Density Housing


Working Papers on High-Density Housing, Perth, 2003-2004

These Working Papers comprised a set of user-based housing and open space design guidelines for the design of high-density, high-rise housing in Perth.

 

In 2003, my Brisbane-based firm, Sarkissian Associates Planners, prepared a number of planning and design guidelines for Mirvac Fini in Perth.

 

Mirvac Fini has given me permission to publish these guidelines.

 

They aimed to assist in the planning and design of what was then called Burswood Lakes and is now “The Peninsula”: a large development with many high-rise housing towers.
