Tarakan Street features in INDESIGNLIVE  

'At last people are talking with urgency about the need for social and affordable housing' says Jan Henderson for Indesignlive.

'Tarakan Street is making a difference to the lives of many through innovative and thoughtful architecture. NH Architecture and Bird de la Coeur Architects worked closely together to achieve something that should be replicated in every suburb and state in Australia.

Construction begins on 54 social housing apartments in 3 new buildings as part of the Victorian Government's Big Housing Build. MP Christine Couzens and the team from Homes Vic with NH Architecture and Alchemy Construction attended the sod turning ceremony. We've worked with NH to design longevity into the one-, two- and three-bedroom dwellings by designing flexibility into the apartment configurations, catering for expanding and contracting families. Bedrooms can be allocated to those who need them, allowing people to start a family and increase the size of their apartment or conversely contract apartment size and age in place.
