Architecture and urban planning grad in Auckland (over the ditch) here - you’ve done a fantastic job articulating the gist and intent of the pattern book here! Hopefully our government can pursue some sort of similar scheme here so that people can have warmer, more well designed missing middle houses in NZ!

No garages, no single family homes…

I love that these look nice and don't appear to chase some international trend that makes no sense locally in as cheap a way as possible. aussies are going to have to get to grips with terraces etc, so many new single dwellings are packed so tight they might as well be duplexes anyway.

This is a fantastic explanation of our approach to the pattern book and delivering more housing for NSW. Thank you for making this!

Why do we need to condense the population when we could simply decentralize with investment into high speed infrastructure to regional areas creating jobs outside of urban sprawl Young people like you should be advocating for that before cramming everyone together

The patterns are pointless unless they are proven designs. Minimum requirement for the book should have been that 50 of the properties have been built and both the builders and the owners are happy with the result.

they should have made the ruling for no more black roofs oo but they didn't.

we have a housing organization in Canada that released something similar this year. it breaks up the designs by province/Territory too to better fit the aesthetics of each region.

Even the current "cheap" homes aren't actually cheap. Unless there's control over the pricing of homes there will never be affordable housing. That's the problem with a lot of these schemes. They skirt around the true issue of affordable housing and that is developer greed.

the fact that double glazed windows are an extra and not standard always blows my mind. the EU/UK are up to triple glazing, and yet we're still doing single. make double glazing standard, and you have to pay extra for single glazing all the new builds with no eaves? built right up to the fence line? tiny yards and fake grass? I live next to a new estate and I just cannot.

the designs are beautiful, wonderful for planning fast tracking, but I wish affordability didn't come at the cost of site specific architecture, still such a better approach than project homes

The problem no one wants to talk about with density is the lack of parking

my biggest concern is the additional ongoing costs and headaches with "the missing middle". when we were looking to buy (granted 13 years ago and prices are very different now) the bodycorp costs on top of the mortgage for most properties we looked at would have made our weekly costs almost identical to what our free standing home costs are. I don't know what the typical body corp/shared insurance/whatever costing model would be now for vs the difference in cost for these properties, also you're then having other people you need to negotiate with regarding building insurance, exterior improvements etc. Be good to see some efforts to make that side of things more transparent and easier to manage.

My first question would be are there safeguards to prevent developers for cutting corners (eg using cheaper materials, half-assing insulation) or is that accounted for in the design?

Thanks for this. My biggest concern with higher density housing is parking. Every time I got into higher density housing developments I see cars everywhere. Most of the dwellings have a single garage and array a large enough driveway for a car to park. It seems like most of the occupants have at least two cars and then if there are any visitors the few parks designated for visitors are already full and the narrow roads are partially blocked by even more cars. I know that’s not part of what this was addressing but it is a major issue. The desire to use public transport and the reality of work and life just don’t match up so multiple cars is still a necessity. Having said this, my hubby and I have only had a single car for 15 years but we are past the kids needing to be driven everywhere stage and are quite dedicated to using public transport

Higher density housing sounds like a wonderful idea, until you have to live in them. 😂 after spending most of the last decade in townhouses, I would NEVER buy one. Honestly after experiencing the build quality of the rentals Ive had the displeasure of living in, I wouldn't buy anything built after the 90s. 😅

I did a custom build but still only with a building designer and I wish I could go back in time. There are things that I wanted, particularly with thermal performance, that he absolutely didn't achieve. I just didn't think I could afford an architect 😭
