Proposition of Multi-story affordable residential building, VIC, Footscray
Project Highlight: In Footscray, Melbourne, Meso Space is proposing a new project to address the housing needs of vulnerable income communities. This venture entails the construction of a six-story affordable residential building comprising 60 units, strategically located on Nicholson Street. By situating the development in this bustling area, residents will benefit from easy access to public transportation, including bus and train routes, facilitating seamless commutes and fostering community connectivity. Moreover, the proximity to essential amenities such as schools, healthcare facilities, and grocery stores will significantly enhance the quality of life for residents, promoting a sense of belonging and well-being. Nicholson Street’s vibrant atmosphere and ongoing urban revitalization efforts make it an ideal location for this transformative project, which aims to provide not only affordable housing but also opportunities for social engagement and support services tailored to the needs of vulnerable populations. The project’s colour textures and facade are designed to create an urban landmark, contributing to placemaking practices in Footscray.
