WHERE COMMUNITY BELONGS
The project involves the demolition of ten existing two and three storey public housing buildings, and the construction of new low-to-medium rise accommodation. The 106 public housing dwellings will be comprised of 66 apartments and 40 townhouses, as well as two community rooms. The goal of the redevelopment project is to deliver new public housing with a more appropriate mix of housing types that promotes a greater level of community within the area. Specifically, the new development will provide more adaptable and accessible housing for aged and disabled members of the community.
The design features an external façade which is both contemporary and sympathetic to the existing semi-detached and historic dwellings in the Redfern area. As a result, the development will be integrated into and enhance the urban landscape.
