The Ardeer Community Care Unit, part of Victoria’s Family Violence Housing program and designed by Y2 Architecture, serves as more than just shelter—it is a sanctuary for families in crisis. Livability is prioritised through flexible accommodations ranging from one to three bedrooms, tailored to diverse family profiles.

Central to its design are themes of well-being and belonging, achieved through carefully selected colors and materials. Communal spaces such as a hall, BBQ area, and children’s play space with separated age-appropriate zones foster community and normalcy, encouraging social interaction and mutual support among residents.
