Bringing a slice of home to Christchurch, New Zealand

Project:

Red Zone- Re-Housing 30,000-45,000 People

Bulldozing the Red Zone

= Green, Open Space + Sustainable Housing

The Challenge: Where do we re-house all these residents?

A n d r e w       T e s s a       H i l l a r y       M a t t h e w     ~ Lincoln Landscape Architecture

Okay so where do we start?

Soils...

What's exisiting...

What do we see...sketching our ideas...

Housing Densities... How will they look...

Low- 30 homes per hectare ( 2.3 acres per hectare)

Medium- 55/ HA

High- 73/ HA

Building Models...

Presentation- Friday!

Then a presentation to Christchurch City Council!

Then we split off and create our own, detailed designs of what we envision.

For Housing Densities, I am using Croton-on-Hudson's Half Moon Bay (housing development)
as a concept to work off of... my classmates thought it was the perfect
solution... so perhaps Christchurch will one day look like Half Moon Bay!

(In case you do not know, I live in Croton-on-Hudson)

How cool would that be?
