Nine Buildings
Location
Melbourne
Year
2021
Nine Buildings is a series of modest housing prototypes by Molonglo and Paphitis C.I. to be delivered over an eleven-year period, spanning three decades. For the first prototype development, Cysur, Royffe Flynn were involved as consultants to work on the commercial viability and feasibility of the site and produce the design brief for the Swiss architect Peter Märkli.
Cysur is situated on a small, nondescript plot of 276 square metres in Brunswick, Melbourne and will be completed in 2023. The modest scale necessitates a clever use of space. Quiet attributes that are often undervalued – air, volume, light and tactility – will be prioritised to create generous and comfortable living arrangements.
Cysur’s common spaces will include a garden, kitchen, laundry, clothesline, vine-covered pergola and dining area. These shared spaces will be densely planted, largely with natives.
Cysur will include a number of rent-only units that imagine better conditions for renters, through quality housing, longer rental agreements, genuine respect for and belief in a renter’s ability to care and contribute to their home and neighbourhood and more direct and meaningful contact between tenant and landlord.
