A Mini Cohousing Community
5 Montgomery St, Beaconsfield WA
The design of the built form focuses on sustainability and affordability. We have conducted pre-liminary energy assessments to ascertain the need for active heating and cooling of the buildings and believe the development can achieve a minimum of 9 stars for each of the dwellings. We will undertake a life cycle design analysis upon receiving planning approval.
The design is cost effective and therefore will be more affordable to a diverse range of people.
The landscaping plan brings together the built and social fabric of the development. It combines the desire for simply beauty with easy maintenance. In developing the plan, we have been mindful of the ability and capacity of current future residents to maintain the gardens. Proposed species are predominantly a mixture of natives and productive species. The structure of the landscape proposed is such that there is ample opportunity for keen gardeners, should they move in, to add more labour intense elements such as espaliered fruit trees and other food producing plants. The hard landscaping elements will predominantly consist of recycled and sustainable materials.
The professional team are developer The Green Swing and construction company Right Homes. Together, they successfully completed two now multi-award-winning projects in the suburb of Lathlain, Town of Victoria Park. Both projects have become an example of sustainable and better medium density infill development.
The Montgomery Street development is designed following the same principles and is a continuation of the Green Swing’s mission to create and inspire better, smarter, urban infill development; to make a positive contribution towards a more sustainable community.
