New homes

What if...?

...we could create a variety of new, high quality homes that are appropriate in density and scale for the context and do not dominate the listed warehouses?

The Challenge:

We need to address the housing shortage in a historically sensitive area while creating a great place to live.

The vision has committed to 50% affordable homes that will support the community to grow over generations.

For the masterplan we will need to:

  • consider how the listed bonded warehouses can offer an opportunity for conversion to homes
  • ensure that the bonded warehouses are not dominated by the new development
  • review how any new buildings knit into the surrounding neighbourhoods
  • consider how new homes relate to green spaces and public realm
  • review heritage assets and how the new buildings sit alongside them
  • consider how services can respond to more people living in the area
