Project Description
Our affordable housing for the Stadia Precinct treats constraint as fuel. The buildings step, tilt and carve like a gentle urban terrain, pulling sun, breeze and community through every level. Each move reads like a diagram in three dimensions: more light, better ventilation, stronger streets.
At ground level, a series of sculpted podiums carry the working life of the precinct, offices, community rooms, maker spaces, wellness facilities, small retail. These podiums form a continuous civic shelf that ties the stadium to the waterfront and keeps the edges active from morning to night.
Above, the homes rise as simple, repeatable modules: economical to build, generous to inhabit. Terraces become small gardens in the sky. Materials stay honest. Circulation is clear. Comfort is earned through orientation, insulation and thoughtful planning rather than expensive flourishes.
It’s a compact, optimistic vertical neighbourhood where affordability becomes the driver of a richer, more human city.

Clayton hacks the podium typology: zero-threshold NDIS homes stitch directly to the street, while a stack of light-wells lifts private dwellings into the treetops. One looping ramp, part corridor, part community promenade, makes accessibility the project’s main spatial event.
Balconies bite into the facade, pocket gardens inhale daylight, and sliding glass dissolves the line between inside and Melbourne’s sky.
The result: an equality diagram masquerading as an apartment block, every resident enters the same story, just on a different page.
