Project:
Kialla West Eco-Village Masterplan
Location:
Kialla, Victoria
Client:
Greater Shepparton City Council
Date:
2010
The Task:
The Kialla West Eco-Village is a boutique subdivision which sensitively incorporates an original homestead that has cultural and historical value into the new eco-village.
The Outcome:
Our team members undertook a detailed site analysis for the site and its surrounds and liaised closely with relevant technical stakeholders to inform the preparation of a concept plan and master plan for Kialla West.
We incorporated the key principals of a true eco-village to design a self-sustainable development which utilises passive heating and cooling or buildings, water sensitive urban design practices, low impact construction methods and materials, and endemic planting palette to enhance the local ecology.
