This thesis uses design based research to meet the challenge of urban densification. It proposes an approach for higher density housing development that enhances livability, achieves compactness and responds to a city’s unique landscape. To accommodate an increasing amount of people within the city, strategies and experimentation into the density of built form contributing to the urban fabric must be explored. The design based research addresses how improvements can be made upon an existing site through the reconfiguration of built form with an analysis into density, topography, existing natural ecologies and the key components fundamental to a successful urban and public realm.
