Bigge Street answers NSW's urgent need for social housing, particularly in Liverpool, where the wait time exceeds 10 years.
The character and materiality of the project is driven by the long-term performance of the building, including maintenance, longevity and the sensitive needs of social housing residents.
There is a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom apartments, and the interiors have been designed to accommodate and allow modification for different users.


Inspiration




The interiors feature a natural colour palette, inspired by local flora and fauna.
Pops of reds and greens are used as a highlight throughout the building. For example, the red of the soffit continues to become the interior theme of the lobby.
This is further encapsulated in the integrated signage system that runs from the pre-cast building ID, through to the individual apartment numbers.
Adressing an urgent need for social housing with high quality and cost-effective design.
