Coffs Harbour State Significant Development — approved!
60 homes. 100% social housing for Homes NSW. A courtyard building that responds to a challenging site with steep topography. Showcasing a landscaped podium at ground level, robust face brick above, and a building form sculpted to draw northern light into apartments and shared space.
Good design shouldn't be reserved for market-rate housing. This project is a chance to demonstrate that.
Working with @jila.landscape and @fcad.com.au meant landscape, culture, and Country were embedded in the design from day one.
We've also put in some initial concept sketches that drove us through to the final result!

We are excited to see Redan Lane's interior spaces begin to emerge!
Warm timber detailing and natural stone set the tone for a refined and crisp living space that maximises views over Balmoral.

Inviting external character within!
Brick, timber and natural stone finishes throughout the interiors maintain the warm tones established by Royale Randwick’s exterior, creating material continuity across each townhouse.
With kitchen and dining spaces planned to open directly to terraces, generous light and ventilation maximises comfortable everyday living.

Huge thanks to @habitusliving and @indesignlive for hosting such a lovely lunch with some truly inspiring people in the industry!
It was amazing to spark thoughtful conversations around design, what matters most today, what we want to see more (or less) of, and where the industry is heading. We appreciate @vzug for bringing us together to dive into these questions and explore how design media, like Habitus, can continue to evolve. Always a joy to connect, share ideas, and be inspired over great food and company.
