FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Expand all Collapse all
What is low- and mid-rise housing? keyboard_arrow_down
LOW-RISE HOUSING
Low-rise housing is 1–2 storey buildings that include dual occupancies (2
dwellings on the same lot), terraces, townhouses, and manor houses (low-rise
apartment buildings).
MID-RISE HOUSING
Mid-rise housing is 3–6 storey apartment buildings or mixed-use buildings with
ground floor shops and apartments above.
Why do we need more low- and mid-rise housing? keyboard_arrow_down
Our households are changing, and we need to build more housing to meet these
changing needs.
The NSW Government is focused on supporting the development of homes where
people want to live. Building up, rather than out, not only saves money but it
helps create housing supply – which promotes affordability.
We need more well-designed low- and mid-rise housing to fill the gap between
detached homes and high-rise apartment buildings to suit people's changing
lifestyle needs.
Building homes in well-located areas, close to transport hubs and town centres,
can help reduce the cost of living by improving access to walkable amenities,
cost-effective transport options, and a variety of housing and employment
opportunities.
What is the NSW Housing Pattern Book? keyboard_arrow_down
The NSW Housing Pattern Book is a comprehensive collection of customised
building designs, design elements, and development principles that guide the
creation of new housing.
The patterns can be adapted and changed to suit people’s different design
tastes, family needs and budgets.
It serves as a valuable resource for developers, architects, building designers,
planners, and community members, offering a common design language, construction
methodology, and guidelines for creating high-quality, sustainable, and
context-sensitive housing.
By providing consistency in design and outcomes, the Pattern Book significantly
reduces the time and effort required for the design and planning stages of
housing projects.
The designs included in the Pattern Book will be adaptable and customised for
use across NSW.
What are the benefits of the NSW Housing Pattern Book? keyboard_arrow_down
The NSW Housing Pattern Book streamlines development by offering adaptable
pre-designed solutions, significantly reducing the time and effort required
during the design and planning phases of housing projects.
Developers who use the endorsed pattern-book designs will have access to a
fast-tracked planning pathway. This means builders can get on site faster, and
people can move into new homes sooner.
The pattern book will also lead to more flexibility. Pattern book developments
are often easier to maintain and adaptable to changing needs. This is because
the design intent and building typologies are well-defined.
The pattern book can promote consistency in design, but developers can also
customise patterns to meet a specific community context. This could include:
* adjustment of the room sizes and numbers to suit user needs
* considering environmental factors
* choice of materials and roof form to suit neighbourhood character.
The development of the Pattern Book will involve the community in the design
process, to ensure housing designs meet the needs of NSW diverse communities.
It also offers sustainable, cost-effective design, encouraging:
* the use of energy-efficient materials and construction methodologies to
minimise energy bills
* green/passive building techniques to naturally heat and cool homes
* water-conservation measures
* reduced wastage in construction.
What type of buildings will be included in the NSW Housing Pattern Book?
keyboard_arrow_down
The NSW Housing Pattern Book will include both low- and mid-rise housing – known
as the missing middle. There is a need for more low- and mid-rise housing to
help create more diverse housing choice to suit people's changing lifestyle
needs.
The contemporary home designs will be suitable for NSW’s climate, allow for
natural light and aim to include community spaces for shared meals and
neighbourhood activities.
How was the competition run? keyboard_arrow_down
The competition was conducted in two stages: an open expression of interest
(EOI), followed by a detailed design submission for shortlisted finalists.
In Stage 1, EOI selection criteria was based on demonstrated capability,
portfolio, methodology and entrant profile.
In Stage 2, shortlisted candidates were asked to submit detailed pattern designs
in their chosen category. Stage 2 commenced on the 9 September 2024 and closed
on 11 October 2024, when shortlisted teams submitted their final designs.
When will the NSW Housing Pattern Book be available? keyboard_arrow_down
The low-rise housing pattern book will be available in mid-to-late 2025.
How were the winners selected? keyboard_arrow_down
Five professional entries and one student entry have been selected from a pool
of 21 shortlisted teams out of 212 submissions from Australia and across the
globe.
The jury chose the winning designs for their thoughtful consideration of diverse
household types and changing community needs. They are also sustainable and use
human-centered design. That is, the designs consider the needs of the future
residents and their local communities.
The winning designs were picked for their consideration of diverse household
types, accessibility, changing community needs, affordability and
sustainability.
The designs are customised and flexible to suit people’s different design tastes
and preference. They are adaptable to be used on a range of different sites
across the suburbs and communities of NSW.
Is there a prize for winners? keyboard_arrow_down
The shortlisted finalists, 15 professional and 6 student finalists, were paid a
fee to participate in the Stage 2 design competition.
The competition winning architects (professional category only) will be eligible
to build their design as a demonstration project in collaboration with NSW
Government organisations. Competition winners will also work with GANSW to
refine their designs to meet the required standards for inclusion in the NSW
Housing Pattern Book.
Can we see all the final designs? keyboard_arrow_down
We received excellent and thoughtful submissions from all shortlisted finalists.
We are excited to share all 21 designs via an online exhibition once the
favourite designs are announced in early 2025.
Who judged the competition entries? keyboard_arrow_down
The five-person jury was chaired by the NSW Government Architect, Abbie Galvin
and comprises recognised design and housing experts. The design competition was
endorsed by Australian Institute of Architects.
When will the NSW Housing Pattern Book be available? keyboard_arrow_down
The NSW Government will launch the finalised NSW Housing Pattern Book of
pre-approved housing designs in mid to late 2025. Anyone who uses one of the
designs will have access to a fast-tracked planning pathway.
