Assemble’s mantra is, every Australian deserves access to an affordable, well-designed home, and everyone deserves a community to come home to. Assemble have  made it their mission to challenge our country’s housing crisis to come up with new ideas on how they can deliver a better, fairer system. So the Assemble Futures was born, an alternate pathway to home ownership enabling residents to rent securely for five years, with the option to buy their home at the end of the lease period. This residential community has been designed by one Australia’s most awarded winning architecture firms Fieldwork. The project comprises of 171 stunning residential units. This well considered community has been designed with quality and sustainability in mind. The project seeks to meet the needs of the local community through the provision of affordable, comfortable, low running cost and low environmental impact housing. The new building wraps around and above a heritage‐listed modernist factory with a striking façade originally design in 1955 by A K Lines and MacFarlane & Marshall for Yakka Overalls Pty Ltd. The tectonic expression of this existing building drives the arrangement of the new building above. This clever design incorporates the new with the old, and brings new life to the former factory, making it stand proud again. We are proud to be part of the team, that is solving our housing crisis and bringing an affordable quality residential community to life.
