A Archipelago – Residential Community

Located at Mooloolaba, A Archipelago is a residential community that allows those with psychological and intellectual disabilities to feel empowered and live semi - independently, fostering the idea of designing beyond compliance. The concept behind A Archipelago is the Archipelago itself i.e. the identity of landform (static spaces), the connection of islands (serene spaces) and the human communication between islands (connection spaces). Each of these spaces are defined as private, semi - public or public spaces and enforce specific design aims that relate back to the concept, these include sensory stimulation, social integration, order and growth.
