Civic Legibility

With an exposed perimeter of approximately 750m, a highly contextual and considered design response allows the various edge conditions to generate specific solutions to the master plan and the planning and in turn the organisation of the individual houses.

Legibility of individual houses is clearly read through the fundamental orchestration and massing of the dwellings but crucially the collected terraces also present as appropriately scaled pieces of the broader civic and town centre context.

Whilst contributing in a collective sense to the civic legibility of Point Cook each individual house type has been designed to respond to a set of immediate adjacencies or conditions. There is nothing generic or accidental in the arrangement of the individual house types.

In the same way that the houses fronting the wetlands present a calm and consistent edge to the landscape, reinforcing the qualities of the parkland, so the houses act as a backdrop for daily life, the calm neutrality of the architecture allowing the residents to personalise and animate the development.
