Parlour Talks: Housing for Women
Online lunchtime talk from Parlour and Her Home on how housing designed for women is different, with architects Eloise Atkinson, Samantha Donnelly and Sophie Dyring
Location: Online, 12.30pm to 1.30pm AEDT
Date: 22 October 2026, 12.30pm to 1.30pm AEDT
Parlour, the Melbourne-based organisation for women, equity and architecture, hosts an online Parlour Talks session on Thursday 22 October 2026 from 12.30pm to 1.30pm AEDT. Held in collaboration with Her Home, the lunchtime talk asks how housing designed for women is different. It is open to architects, planners, housing providers and students anywhere in Australia.
Three speakers join the conversation. Eloise Atkinson is a Brisbane architect and independent chair of BHC, Queensland’s largest community housing provider. Samantha Donnelly is an architectural educator whose PhD examined trauma-informed design for women’s refuges. Sophie Dyring is an architect and landscape architect working in social and affordable housing who sits on design review panels in South Australia and New South Wales. Tania Davidge and Justine Clark host. Tickets are $45.
The session covers safety, flexibility, housing types and models, and challenges assumptions about where women, particularly older women, should live. For architects working on social and affordable housing briefs, it is an hour of direct input from people shaping that sector.
