This new Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) project in Hoppers Crossing are custom designed homes for three residents with acute needs. The residents are long-term house mates, previously residing in a house that was no longer fit for purpose and in fact inhibited their lifestyles.

The development is for two units, one 2-bedroom and one 1-bedroom dwelling, with a centrally located and shared onsite overnight accommodation. Each unit has a front door to the street and their own front yard and sense of address. The resident in unit 1, who enjoys sitting on the verandah and watching the world go by has a built-in seat to facilitate their joy.

Formally the project plays with the suburban gable form and screening hit-and-miss brickwork, across the front façade, which are used in combination to reinforce the separate homes, addresses and identities.
