Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best retirement housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
A plan for 11 new apartments in Sandy Bay has been given the green light, despite concerns from neighbours it could lead to landslip issues.
At the site at 47 Manning Ave, a two-building apartment complex with 11 dwellings comprising nine three-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units will be built.
Each building would be three storeys high, and both will have an enclosed garage on the ground floor, providing two spaces for each apartment.
The development has been promised to result in a makeover for what’s currently considered an “urban weedscape”.
On Wednesday, the DA was considered by the Hobart City planning authority, which heard from property owners opposed to the build.
“We’re not opposed to development at 47 Manning avenue, we are opposed to the scale of what is proposed,” a neighbour told the committee.
The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
