Finalists have been announced for the re Growth pod competition.
An international ideas competition for the design for a new family house for the residents of Kinglake who have lost their homes in the Bushfire.
This competition is open to architects and designers not just in Victoria, Australia but to all those interested in the typology required for the re-building of houses whilst the site is occupied by the re-Growth Pod.
It is anticipated that this competition will generate new thinking for living in sites prone to Bushfire as well as creating a dialogue within the design community.
