THE JUDGESTHE BRIEFGEN Y DEMONSTRATION HOUSE
The fi rst stage of the ‘Gen Y Demonstration House’
competition invited young West Australian architects to
submit an ‘Idea’ which encapsulated the ‘Gen Y’ lifestyle
and living requirements. Participants were asked to visually
describe a fl exible, cost effective and sustainable dwelling
for the next generation of home owners. In addition the brief
requested that participants test the new provisions of the
R-Codes and explore alternative living arrangements.
We received 21 conforming submissions which presented
a wide range of ideas in the form of an overall design
philosophy and a poster. The submissions went through
a rigorous assessment process, which resulted in a
shortlist of six architects selected to participate in
Stage 2 of the competition.
The second stage of the competition involved further
development of their ‘Idea’ into a concept design, all of
which were of a very high standard. The submissions
demonstrated a variety of solutions to address fl exibility,
adaptability and sustainability in an innovative, spatially
effi cient and climate responsive dwelling.
THE NEXT STEPS
Over the next 12 months we will be taking the Gen Y ‘Ideas’
and ‘Concept Designs’ on a road show to provide the
opportunity for a wide range of audiences to participate
in the discussion around sustainable and cost effective
housing for WA’s future generations.
In 2015 the winning concept design will be built at
White Gum Valley and is expected to open for display to
provide a chance for industry, community and school
groups to visit and learn more about the design and
the sustainability initiatives that have been integrated
into the design.

SHARED SPACE
Our design philosophy is centred on an affordable shared
living arrangement for the Gen Y fi rst homebuyer.
We seek to challenge the typical Australian dwelling, which
is characterised by underutilised front yards and generous
back yards, which to use one must fi rst pass through private
thresholds. These are substantial spatial ineffi ciencies, which
we hope to reclaim into useable, valuable space.
Our proposal is a split dwelling arrangement with
shared common facilities, which would allow for an
affordable and fl exible Gen Y housing model.
We call it iSHARE living.
Fusion at White Gum Valley is the ideal opportunity for
Gen Y or the ‘Peter Pan Generation’, (alluding to Gen Y’s
slow departure from the family nest into independent living)
to enter the increasingly out of reach property market. We
see this as an investment property, or having tenants in
common ownership structure, as this will provide maximum
fl exibility and most importantly affordability for the
Gen Y fi rst homebuyer.
iSHARE LIVING CONFIGURATION
There are two distinct zones; private and shared.
The private zone is a retreat where individuals have their
own space and identity. In this private zone, is the option for
two bedrooms or a larger master bedroom, as well as a
bathroom and informal living area.
The shared zone includes all common facilities; laundry
and an open plan kitchen and living area, opening out onto
a shared courtyard.
This indoor/outdoor relationship allows for fl exible living with
priority placed on natural day lighting and cooling. Importantly
the courtyard will accommodate for bicycle storage, as the
iSHARE living module does not include a garage or carport.
iSHARE LIVING
THE HOUSE LAYOUT ALLOWS FOR TWO PRIVATE
ZONINGS WITH SHARED COMMON FACILITIES,
WHICH ENABLES SEVERAL COMBINATIONS OF
REALISTIC CO-OWNERSHIP POSSIBILITIES.
Affordable, adaptable, innovative, friendly, social and sustainable

SEAN CRISPGENERATION Y DEMONSTRATION HOUSE AN EXPLORATION OF IDEAS
IN OUR SCHEME WE PROPOSE THAT
A HOUSE SHOULD BE DESIGNED IN
A WAY WHERE KEY ELEMENTS ARE
MOVABLE TO CHANGE DIFFERENT LIVING
ARRANGEMENTS IF REQUIRED.
With the POD modules one house may have ability to
cater for four singles, two couples or even a family of
four. Simply confi gure the arrangements of the PODS to
create suitable private and communal spaces to achieve
ideal living harmony. From a legality perspective this
would be a tenants in common arrangement.
ORLANDO CATENACCIGEN Y-OLO
THE DESIGN CONCEPT OF THE HOME IS HEAVILY
FOCUSED AROUND SUSTAINABLE PRINCIPLES.
The volumes of rooms, the careful placement
of the different spaces in the home, cross-fl ow
ventilation and natural lighting are some of the many
sustainable principles that will be incorporated into
the scheme to signifi cantly improve the look and feel
of the home as a cost effective sustainable solution.
