Habitat Unit

What we do

• We design civic buildings that and long-term public value.

• Built form strategies and building conceptualisation that align with planning, climate, and delivery constraints

• Test-fit design to de-risk yield, amenity, and performance

Typical outputs

• Building design

• Built form options + massing studies

• Yield / feasibility testing with design quality guardrails

• Climate-sensitive urban design rooted in local conditions (heat, shade, wind, water, ecology)

• Resilience thinking embedded early — not added at the end

Typical outputs

• Climate-responsive design principles + guidelines

• Heat mitigation + shade strategies (public realm + built form)

• Water-sensitive and nature-based strategies

What we do

• Design governance: translating aspirations into clear, usable standards

• Independent review that strengthens quality while respecting delivery realities

Typical outputs

• Design codes + precinct guidelines

• Quality assurance frameworks + review tools

• Design review support (panels, submissions, revisions)

What we do

• District, corridor, and city-scale planning with design intelligence built in

• Spatial structuring: land use, mobility, density, public realm, and character

Typical outputs

• Masterplans, structure plans, and concept plans

• Urban design frameworks + development parameters

• Staging plans + infrastructure coordination

What we do

• Public space systems that support identity, comfort, access, and civic life

• Streets, parks, waterfronts, and civic nodes designed as a connected network

Typical outputs

• Public realm frameworks + place plans

• Open space strategies + typologies

• Street design concepts + activation principles

What we do

• Visioning + strategic direction for cities, precincts, and institutions

• Options testing and investment logic for decision-makers

Typical outputs

• Strategic frameworks + place propositions

• Business cases, investment narratives, and implementation roadmaps

• Governance models + delivery pathways

Outcomes

• Clear direction, fundable scope, and decision-ready documentation

What we do

• Decision-support for cities: using evidence, mapping, and digital tools to clarify choices

• Human-centred, ethics-aware approaches to urban tech

• Urban Technology consulting.

Typical outputs

• Urban analytics + spatial evidence packs

• KPI frameworks + monitoring approaches

• Digital strategy for place (dashboards, data governance, tool selection)
