Gillman House embodies
Purposefulness: Begin with a vision and have a clear focus of what we want to accomplish just like the design of Gillman Barracks as a large neighbourhood with living quarters, social and recreational activities for communal living.
Moderation: Create a healthy balance between work and play just like the soldiers who trained hard and yet prioritised pockets of time to exercise and rest.
Flexibility: Open to change just like the redevelopment of Gillman Barracks over time from an army barracks to an arts hub.
