Prahran Precinct Stage 1

Prahran, Australia

Firm
YEAR
2013
In creating their vision for affordable housing projects in Prahran and other locations, DesignInc have developed a new aesthetic for social housing, which emphasizes a community-focused, sustainable residential environment.
At Prahran, the brief was to deliver 188 units, half one-bedroom and half two-bedroom units. Twenty percent of the units were to be easily adaptable to DDA requirements, 10 percent fully accessible and 70 percent visitable, with ongoing consultation ensuring the design details such as bench heights and door frames met the act’s specific requirements.
The building form and pedestrian network aims to breakdown the existing “mega” block scale of this part of the estate. Three separate identities are created for the new buildings, with distinct characteristics and opportunities for individual unit identification.
A colonnade structure forms a podium base for the buildings and articulates the building at the street level. The use of two alternating tones of three colors to the metal-clad panels across the building facades helps to give individuality to units within an overall theme.
