Santuario Residences
The Santuario Residences is an architectural initiative developed by students at Curtin University. This project focuses on designing a series of residential units inspired by the historical context and eclectic architecture of Subiaco, Western Australia. The main objective is to create a tranquil sanctuary within an urban setting, ensuring that each residence is tailored to meet the specific needs and vision of its occupants. The student designers emphasize the importance of developing homes that foster community engagement and provide spatial flexibility to accommodate evolving family dynamics while also supporting business opportunities. The Santuario Residences successfully integrate the practical requirements of the clients with innovative design solutions that enhance daily living and cultivate a strong sense of community belonging. The design accommodates various household structures, allowing rooms to be adapted as needed. It aims to combine spatial variations into a cohesive housing block that aligns with the suburban context of Catherine Street in Subiaco. The design prioritizes natural light, site orientation, and shared spaces to create a functional and welcoming community atmosphere.
