Abstrakt: Wybalena Grove is a cooperative housing development in Canberra that was designed in the 1970s by Michael Dysart. The development offers an alternative to traditional single dwellings and promotes community-minded housing. It consists of 105 semi-detached townhouses with diverse typologies and a focus on open-plan living and interconnected spaces. The design prioritizes harmony with the natural surroundings and includes shared facilities such as a village green, tennis courts, and playgrounds. Despite changes in demographics and societal attitudes, Wybalena Grove remains a sought-after address and continues to be managed by a committee of volunteer residents. The development has received recognition for its enduring architecture and serves as a reminder to rethink our approach to housing and prioritize people and the environment.
