815 Pacific Highway, Chatswood

Architecture - Proposed - Multi Residence (10+ floors) | Creator: a+ design group | Commissioner: Alton Property Group

The concept of the project started during the COVID-19 outbreak. Many people worked from home and have not returned to their offices due to social distancing issues. Till today, most buildings are rectangular which can only accommodate for rigid floor plans. As a result, architects nowadays provide the same layouts as in the post-war era with the only difference that the dividing walls are not provided. These layouts are not complimenting the need for social distancing, and therefore new building configurations had to be developed.
