Located in Carlton, the project is a small-scale multi residential building that aims to provide affordable housing for young adults and families. The boost of social media, especially amongst Millennials and Generation Z, has made us become more physically isolated and in our own world.
The main challenge for this project was to encourage the residents to build their own community, putting extra effort on the common spaces that could allow residents to come together through different events and activities. The community kitchen and roof deck provides space for events and get-togethers that can be held by the residents. The ground floor also has a gym, where fitness classes can be held, and a cafe, where the residents, as well as the general public can come in and have meals together.
The apartment units follow a contemporary industrial design. Drawing in warm tone materials against the painted brick walls allows to create a comfortable, yet beautiful atmosphere.
