Best essential health worker housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best affordable seniors 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.
Meridian Miranda, designed by Turner and developed by Aware Real Estate and Altis Property Partners, sees housing created for essential workers in a time when housing supply is short and funding is hard to come by.
The development, located 30 kilometres south of Sydney’s CBD, puts essential workers in close proximity to aged care, healthcare, education, emergency services and childcare precincts. 51 of the 102 apartments have been allocated towards essential workers, with the remaining apartments sold as private residential.
“Essential worker apartments need to work well from an operational point of view, but they also need to be beautiful and appeal to the needs of their target demographics,” says Turner Director James McCarthy.
The Global Award winner will be announced in April in London. (Globals)
