Previous Specialised Housing winner
This project in Mildura comprises two purpose-built dwellings that have been thoughtfully crafted as welcoming, functional, and enduring spaces that are tailored to the residents’ needs. Both dwellings meet the Robust Specialist Disability Accommodation standards, and have been future-proofed with adaptability at their core. Joinery in both dwellings was installed after the flooring and features removeable doors, allowing easy chair access if required without the need to disconnect plumbing or electrical. Dwelling B has been specifically tailored for a resident of smaller stature, with bench heights, appliance placement and custom joinery crafted with their independence and comfort in mind. The builder has truly given consideration to every detail, and the end result is a pair of quality homes that will be appreciated by residents for years to come.
