Housing has become a key issue in Australia, with housing availability and affordability becoming increasingly challenging. SPECULATE: Housing Futures presents ideas developed by students from the School of Architecture & Design at the University of Tasmania for multi-residential housing in Hobart to provide more diverse housing typologies closer to the city and services. These speculative ideas demonstrate how existing under-utilised sites could be transformed to provide new opportunities for urban living, transforming the city into a vibrant and socially, economically and ecologically sustainable environment.

Open House is an annual architecture program that opens some of Tasmania’s most unique buildings to the public, including private homes and historic buildings across lutruwita Tasmania. We acknowledge that Open House takes place on the land of the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania) and pay respects to the palawa people, Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and to Elders - past, present and emerging.
