YOURPLACE housing’s CHARP PROJECT - PROPOSED AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

ADELAIDE COMmunity ARCHITECTURE BY KHAB ARCHITECTS

Khab Architects were engaged by YourPlace Housing in late 2021 to assist in the delivery of high quality design solutions for new infill housing on SAHA sites across Adelaide. Khab were engaged specifically for our commitment to optimising tenant amenity and sustainable design outcomes within tight economic constraints.
Khab designed a total of 39 Houses with 12 different housing types that will be constructed across 8 varied sites in metropolitan Adelaide. Of the 39 houses, 25 are designed to meet specific levels of the NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation design standard and will accommodate YourPlace Housing clients. The other 14 townhouses will be sold on the open market to help fund the overall project.

In order to elevate the quality of this new affordable housing, Khab facilitated engagement and feedback sessions with current YourPlace clients. These sessions helped to establish values and priorities with in the architectural brief.
Khab Architects resolved the development yields on each site and helped confirm viable subdivisions. Khab then developed individual housing designs and prepared comprehensive documentation and specifications for all dwellings and sites for each stage of approval and for use in construction. Construction on the first of these sites commenced in early 2023.
