This mixed use, residential/commercial hybrid building is a framework (ruin) that promotes symbiotic overlap between the urban and suburban. Proposed on the site of an existing caryard - an ethical ruin of sorts - a typology that no longer aligns with the evolving needs and expectations of the community within the context of the urban environment, becomes the foundation for a positive housing future.

The project proposes the delivery of high amenity apartments and communal spaces for residents, desirable public amenity through public gardens, retail tenancies, a supermarket, and parking, as well as providing rewilding for an important shoulder on the periphery of the Hobart CBD (re-linking the urban environment back to the rivulet and associated parkland further west).
