Y2 Architecture, as the Principal Design Consultant for the Broadmeadows Community Care Unit, focused on design quality and livability to enhance well-being and foster belonging among residents. This project exemplifies a commitment to diverse community planning and sustainability, ensuring it meets immediate housing needs while positively impacting the environment.
The Community Care Unit was meticulously planned to promote livability and create a supportive environment. Adaptable bedroom configurations and sustainable materials were key in achieving design quality and ensuring long-term sustainability. The calming environment, achieved through thoughtful use of colors and soft materials, enhances well-being and residents’ sense of belonging.
Community-focused spaces like the outdoor play area and BBQ zone encourage interaction, contributing to a vibrant, diverse community atmosphere. The design integrates diverse community planning principles to support the varied needs of residents, with secure site features and inclusive facilities such as a community hall and separate visitor parking.
