SUMMARY:Designing for Multi-Generational Living
DESCRIPTION:Multi-generational living is not new – all of us grew up in households with at least two generations and sometimes more. But we have become more used to moving home as our households change – like downsizing when the kids move out. As the housing crisis deepens\, more of us are re-examining the case for two or three generations living together again under one roof. \nIn this panel discussion we’ll explore some of the practical ways to approach harmonious multi-generational living\, such as designing better private and shared spaces. We’ll also look at some of the regulatory hurdles that can get in the way of living this way and how to deal with them. \nThe discussion will be moderated by Paul Burton\, Emeritus Professor of Urban Management and Planning at Griffith University. \nThis event is delivered by the Gold Coast Open House. See the full program here.

SUMMARY:Reimagening Waste - Circular Design for a Sustainable Society
DESCRIPTION:As climate change and resource scarcity intensify\, sustainable\, circular design is more urgent than ever. The construction industry\, a major source of carbon emissions and waste\, offers huge potential for transformation through innovation and collaboration. \nBy reusing materials and designing for longevity and social benefit\, circular economy principles shift waste from a problem to a resource. \nOur panellists—from architecture\, government\, academia\, and social sectors—will explore how to move beyond linear consumption toward regeneration\, resilience\, and equity. They’ll share insights on turning construction waste into green spaces\, sustainable buildings and employment opportunities for a low-carbon\, inclusive future. \nModerator: Jim Gall \nSpeakers: Grant Gabriel – Program Director\, ARRC\, City of Gold Coast\, Dr Ruby Michaels – Founding Director\, Green Infrastructure Research Labs (GIRLS)\, Griffith University\, Pawan Govind – National Resource Recovery Manager\, Endeavour Foundation and Andrew Noonan- Andrew Noonan Architect\, Co-Chair AIA Queensland Chapter Climate Action and Sustainability Committee. \nThis event is delivered by the Gold Coast Open House.

SUMMARY:Renewable Energy Retrofits - Savvy Solutions for Strata Living
DESCRIPTION:Apartment residents are increasingly seeking access to clean energy solutions — from rooftop solar and battery storage to EV charging and backup power. While these technologies are already delivering benefits to stand-alone homes\, strata buildings face unique challenges. \nThis panel will examine how apartment buildings can be retrofitted to participate in the energy transition. Our speakers will share practical approaches and case studies highlighting what’s working now and what’s on the horizon. \nTopics include: \n\nRetrofitting for rooftop solar and batteries in strata\nEnabling EV charging infrastructure\nImproving energy resilience and reducing common area costs\nNavigating governance\, technical\, and financial hurdles\n\nWhether you’re part of a body corporate\, a sustainability professional\, or simply interested in the future of strata living\, this session will offer clear insights into the opportunities and realities of electrification for multi-residential buildings. \nThis event is delivered by the Gold Coast Open House.

SUMMARY:Value Talk 03: Living Legacies – Torbreck revisited
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of a housing crisis\, Australian cities are being called to rethink what “home” means. The dream of the quarter-acre block is giving way to a future that is smaller\, denser\, more flexible — and often shared. As affordability declines and urban density rises\, the freestanding home is no longer the default model it once was. Enter Torbreck. Completed in 1960 by architects Aubrey Job and Robert Froud\, Torbreck was Brisbane’s first high-rise residential tower — a bold departure from traditional housing typologies. Promoted as a “new concept in gracious living\,” its modernist design and amenity-rich vision heralded a new era of vertical living in Queensland.
