Ironbark Apartments Claim Top Honours
25.10.2024
Ironbark Apartments claimed the top honours for the Affordable Housing category at the inaugural National Apartment Awards for Excellence, by the Australian Apartment Advocacy (AAA). Held in Brisbane last week, the awards recognised 23 winners across 15 categories for their contribution to apartment living and the value they play in providing the community with housing choice.
Studio.SC designed 75 affordable one, two and three-bedroom apartments, which are sustainable and well proportioned. Every space in the development, both internal and external assists in building a sense of community in this development. Blending effortlessly into the surrounding area, with design references to the terrace houses in the area, the rooftop, which includes community gardens, outdoor seating, a play space and relaxation area, alongside gym facilities, contribute to resident’s greater health and well-being.
Congratulations to our Client CityWest Housing for their headline project that integrates a community of 75 dwellings into the broader Harold Park urban renewal precinct. With the project now four years old it is rewarding to see the care and love the residents have for their community, in apartments that were purpose designed for a sustainable and affordable model of living. Critical now more than ever in our nation’s housing supply challenges.
A big thankyou to Sam Reece of the AAA for the hosting of the event and more importantly the ongoing advocacy for the multi residential market they undertake, including research with apartment owners and residents so as to advise government and developers about the needs of the apartment community and housing choice.
