Tuscany Bnb

— Concept

Treat the block as a living organism. Interior courtyards become the connective tissue; the roofscape becomes new civic ground.

— Challenges

Balancing residents' privacy with new public permeability, and negotiating heritage constraints across four adjacent parcels.

— Design Process

Participatory workshops with residents, shadow and wind studies, phased demolition plan and coordinated schedule of works over a projected 36-month build.

— Sustainability Strategy

Passive cooling through cross-ventilated courtyards, on-site greywater treatment, and an urban canopy that reduces the block's heat island by an estimated 2.4 °C.
