Master planning practice
At BHA, master planning is all-encompassing. These projects demand strategic thinking across infrastructure, planning, urban design and development.
For each complex master plan in cities around the world, BHA considers social context, physical interaction and economic outcomes. The practice often involves integrating areas of local significance, making infrastructure improvements, working towards effective site utilization and embracing culturally-appropriate urban design.
DIVERSE EXPERIENCE
Very few architectural practices have the experience to design for cities with more than one million people, and with liveability at the core. Having directly contributed to Melbourne’s reputation as one of the world’s most liveable cities through a wide range of master-planned projects, BHA has the necessary expertise to create similarly liveable cities on an international scale.
This is why BHA is a preferred master plan designer for property developers and government bodies alike. Each master plan considers the needs of stakeholders and communities, along with important historic, environmental and climate-sensitive issues, for the successful development of greenfield and brownfield sites.
EXPERT UNDERSTANDING
Complex master planning requires an understanding of a wide range of factors to encourage investment and economic growth in a region.
BHA understands how to balance the interests of multiple stakeholders to create successful mixed-use developments with human interaction as the focus.
Critical features of each master plan include access, open space and a blend of public and private amenity for the enjoyment of a future community.
PEOPLE AND PLACE
Governments and developers rely upon BHA to discover the potential to transform underdeveloped areas through economic regeneration across many square kilometres. Some examples are China, Kazakhstan and Vietnam.
While the size of a master plan can stretch across many square kilometres with multiple buildings and spaces, the core of each design is the human experience and a sense of a gained happiness as you go about your daily life.
BHA believes that the physical and mental wellbeing of people, now and for generations to come, is central to the success of every master plan.
