PPHA, with its partners, undertakes the full spectrum of project development from site procurement through design, construction and project management.

PPHA architects have extensive experience in designing quality affordable housing, including for people with special requirements. PPHA favours a consultative design process that involves input from the local community and other stakeholders where relevant.

Design guidelines have been developed by PPHA to describe the objectives adopted for the design, specification and operational requirements of PPHA. These guidelines are broad directives to be complimented by site specific requirements. The Guidelines cover such topics as:

• Site planning and integration
• Amenity
• Finishes, fixtures and materials
• Open space
• Environmental design
• Integrated art
