Today we officially launched an international pattern book design competition allowing architects and architecture students from around the world to design the future face of Sydney and NSW while speeding up the delivery of new homes. Housing remains the single biggest cost of living pressure for people across NSW and this competition will mean the winning designs used by developers will have access to an accelerated approval pathway. The accelerated pathway will allow builders to have homes approved and built faster, providing homes to those who need them sooner. Our planning reforms to low and mid rise housing are fundamental to the Pattern Book competition and will provide diversity of housing for our diverse community. https://ow.ly/Otbo50SrpkQ

Exploring how architects address the housing problem in expanding cities. As the world's urban population increases, so do rent prices. Architects are working on creative ways to maximize the number of units with a small budget, incorporating the latest technologies and trends into their designs. Affordable housing is a fundamental necessity for building sustainable and inclusive communities. I recently found an article highlighting some of the current industry trends for affordable housing by influential architects. https://lnkd.in/gMe2J2Z4

Do you need planning? One of the first things we get asked is 'do i need planning'. This is not always a straightforward yes or no at the initial consultation. Some works can be performed under 'Permitted Development'. (PD) Any building work done within permitted development will need to meet certain standards and criteria limiting the maximum size of extensions and loft conversions. Luckily, these limits are quite generous. There’s a lot you can do to maximise your living space and improve your home without the need to go through planning permission. However houses in designated areas may restrict PD. Areas such as Conservation areas National parks Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) World Heritage Sites Finally Local authorities also have the right to limit permitted development rights for certain areas by issuing an ‘Article 4 direction’ – which refers to Article 4 of the GDPO. This might happen for instance, if they want to preserve the character of an area. If in doubt ask a professional, it's what we do and why we exist.

On this Labor Day, El Spazia honors the silent architects of our society. The dedicated workers who work tirelessly to construct the foundations of our society, and to make everyday lives easier for all of us. Today, we celebrate these unsung heroes whose hands craft the dreams we live in and whose spirits forge the paths we walk. They are the builders of dreams and the shapers of our future. #SustainableBuilding #GreenConstruction #EcoFriendlyDesign #InfrastructureWeek #UrbanDevelopment #SmartCities #EcoArchitecture #GreenInfrastructure #SustainableCities #FutureBuilding #ArchitecturalInnovation #UrbanPlanning #ResilientDesign #EcoUrbanism #ClimateSmartConstruction #RealEstate

Join Larch Lab at the The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Conference on Architecture A’24. The #thoughtleadership of Larch Lab’s founder Michael Eliason, AIA will be on display with two sessions at this year’s annual event. We are looking forward to standing with the architecture and design industry’s top architects and thought leaders. Check out Larch Lab’s presentation line up below, and watch for updates here on linkedin. Session: The #ClimateChange #Liability Storm: Is Your Practice Prepared?  Date: June 6, 4:00 pm EST Panelists: Michael Eliason, AIA Founder – Larch Lab / Monte Paulsen, Director – Climate Ready Buildings Group In 2014, the Supreme Court of California found that architects owe a duty of care to occupants and residents of buildings. The rapidly deteriorating weather due to climate change is affecting buildings in ways out-of-date energy models could never have predicted. These dangerous situations include extended wildfire smoke events, deluges dropping more water than roofs and drains can handle, and overheating due to poor design—which can become deadly. This crucial conversation will explore building threats from climate change extremes, ways to mitigate them, and possibilities for reducing risks and liability as planners. _____________________________________________________________________________ Session: Bridging the Housing Gap: The Rise of Single-Stair Apartments  Date: June 6, 4:00 pm EST Panelists: Michael Eliason, AIA Founder – Larch Lab / Sean Jursnick, AIA Associate – Shears Adkins Rockmore Architects / Stephen Smith, Executive Director – Center for Building in North America / Eduardo Mendoza, Policy Director – Livable Communities Initiative. In countries around the world, single-stair apartment buildings (also known as point access blocks) are the dominant type of multifamily housing. They provide housing for a range of households, even on sites that in the United States would be deemed too small for multifamily development. Join this seminar for exciting revelations from a group of panelists working to change how the United States views multifamily housing. You’ll hear about the research confirming that single-stair multifamily housing expands diversity in neighborhoods, provides affordable housing to a wider range of households, promotes walkable communities, and prioritizes safety and wellness.

Latest research from the Summer Foundation and La Trobe University provides insight into what the design and construction sector need to successfully implement mandatory accessibility standards, as outlined in the 2022 National Construction Code Livable Housing Design Guidelines Silver Standard. A key finding is that the sector is optimistic about accessible building design: “I think builders, if they realise it’s not that hard, and they can get a really great outcome for their clients, I think they’ll be on board with it.” - Architect Research participants who took part in 1:1 interviews, had between 12 and 40 years’ experience in the sector, and included builders, architects, building developers and access consultants.
