10 June 2009 | by Gemma Battenbough
The Victorian government has launched an online catalogue of house blueprints that promotes architects’ pro-bono efforts to bushfire victims.
Nineteen architect-designed models that comply with new bushfire building codes and embody sustainable principles have been selected for the free architectural service, which will help people rebuild the 2,000 homes lost in the February fires.
The new Bushfire Homes Service will allow displaced Victorianswho are interested in a design one free consultation with its architect who can advise on suitability and make any amendments.
Architects including Donovan Hill, Hayball, John Henry and John Wardle have donated their time and designs on a pro bono basis. View the 19 designs here.
