Designing Density Well: Delivering Quality Homes for Victorians

We know density is vital. The real challenge now is delivery. How do we design, finance and build the ‘missing middle’ housing now that Victoria’s planning reforms have opened the door?

This event moves beyond abstract ideas to the practical realities of building better cities. It marks a shift from theory to practice – an essential step in creating a lasting legacy for Victorian housing.

Plus Studio Director Ian Briggs will present a viable model for high-quality, diverse density, alongside a design futures blueprint for suburban contexts.

Convened by ArchitectureAu Products Magazine editor Olivia Round, the panel brings together practitioners and decision-makers actively shaping this new landscape:

David Allt Graham, Assemble
Nic Antoniou, Plus Studio
Jill Garner, Victorian Government Architect
Nicola Smith, Niche Planning Studio

The discussion will offer practical guidance on implementing density, exploring how new policies and delivery models can translate into well-designed homes that serve diverse communities.
