Melbourne Affordable Housing Challenge is launched!

The Melbourne Affordable Housing Challenge is the latest architecture competition in the Bee Breeders Affordable Housing series, in collaboration with ARCHHIVE BOOKS. And as Australia’s fastest-growing city, Melbourne is in dire need of design solutions to accommodate the booming demand for family housing throughout the city.

The Melbourne Affordable Housing Challenge is a chance for architecture and design enthusiasts to present creative solutions to the city’s housing crisis, with free rein to select a location of their choice. The jury will be looking for projects that challenge the typical idea of housing, design, and community as a whole, while at the same time offering practical solutions that could potentially see these designs realised.
