‘More Than Home’ is a social housing residence for multigenerational families, accommodating various relational dynamics. The site's spatial planning connects people to place, with a more-than-human perspective shaping the architectural design and the fundamental social structure. The design incorporates climate-sensitive design and co-living spaces aimed at facilitating connections among residents and with surrounding ecologies. Located at the Arlington Apartments site, this project seeks to establish a low-rise, medium-density, environmentally sensitive community in Te Whanganui-a-Tara
