We are truly honored to have been selected for the shortlist of the Kharkiv Housing Challenge competition and to be the only firm from Australia nominated. This achievement not only validates the efforts of our design team, but also recognizes our commitment to responsibility and innovation in the field of architecture.

We would like to extend our special thanks to the organizers of this competition—the Norman Foster Foundation and Arup. The influence of Sir Norman Foster in the global architectural community, as well as Arup’s expertise in sustainable design and structural innovation, have set an exceptionally high standard for this competition. Their leadership has inspired us to think critically about how to address the complex challenges of rebuilding. It is a profound privilege to be part of a project that carries such a global vision and social responsibility.

This competition has not only been a design challenge but also an opportunity to contribute to the reconstruction of Kharkiv, a city deeply affected by conflict. Our design approach focuses on safety, sustainability, and community revitalization, with the goal of bringing new hope and vitality to the city through modular systems. We are hopeful that by working closely with local communities, we can help create a more resilient, greener, and vibrant future for Kharkiv.
