SOLD OUT | Site Visit: Tarakan Street Session 1

Learn about Tarakan Street, a complex development of 130 social and affordable housing dwellings in West Heidelberg, with project collaborators Adrian Costa (NH Architecture), Vanessa Bird (Bird de la Coeur Architects) and Mark Jacques (Openwork).

Meeting point: 113 Tarakan Street Heidelberg West 3081.
Registration: 1:45pm

Tarakan Street is the redevelopment of the former 1956 Olympic Village into a connected residential and community neighbourhood. Comprising a cluster of townhouses at the northern end of the block, a three-storey apartment building and a six-storey apartment building to the south, each building has been carefully arranged in a garden of established canopy trees, allowing views and access to green open spaces to enhance resident well-being. 

All the dwellings achieve a minimum average NatHERS rating of 7 stars, and the development meets the requirements for a Certified Green Star for new Buildings rating of at least 5 stars. All dwellings are accessible to Silver Standard (LHA), while 5% of social housing is fully Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant.
