Thanks to a range of factors – including population growth, the housing crisis and environmental concerns associated with urban sprawl – Australian cities are in a process of transformation. With the traditional quarter-acre block now beyond the means of most first home buyers, we are seeing more and more high-density residential developments, particularly around transport corridors.
In this context, this session of CPD Live focuses on the latest in high-rise apartment design.Beginning by considering the key trends associated with these developments – including sustainability, the incorporation of community space, Smart Home integration, security, and privacy – our speakers will also touch on flexibility in design, multi-functionality, open plan trends, and more.
Focussing on ceiling and walls, they will identify the types of materials and finishes best suited to homes of this type; and the design options we can expect to see more of as our cities continue to grow and change.
By the end of this session, you should be able to:
- Outline the current trends in high rise apartment design
- Explain the affect these trends have on wall and ceiling specification
- Explain how the need for sustainability is affecting high rise apartment design
- Identify the wall and ceiling product options for developments of this type
