Description

The Future Homes project delivers healthy apartments at a gentle density. Architecturally-designed plans were selected through a design competition process and further developed with specialist consultant input. The resultant designs promote sustainability, liveability, family-friendly features, and considerations for ageing-in-place.

What's On

Since our 2023 Open House event, the Future Homes program has expanded state-wide, increasing eligibility across thousands more sites to build sustainable low-density apartment buildings.

This Open House event will include a guided tour through life-sized plans, providing insight into the evolution of the designs, including the approach to landscape architecture, sustainability, accessibility, and other key features.

Our program will give attendees the ability to experience the floor plans of the Future Homes exemplar designs at 1:1 scale, guided by architects from the Office of Victorian Government Architects (OVGA) on their unique architectural, sustainable, and accessible features.

The event will showcase how low-scale apartments can provide better homes for residents, neighbours, and the environment. The audience will also hear about apartment design in general, learning about the design elements to be mindful of when choosing an apartment.
