How IdentityWA, INKA & Kellett Design Group are Changing the Landscape.
IdentityWA, Zorzi Group, INKA and Kellett Design Group have teamed up on a project to design and construct six sustainable and energy-efficient homes for individuals with disabilities using innovative passive housing construction methods.
This partnership aims to address the shortage of accessible housing in the Perth metropolitan area while providing well-designed, modern and fully accessible homes for individuals with disabilities.
The houses will be constructed in a state-of-the-art facility in Perth and designed to be energy-efficient and sustainable, utilising off-site manufacturing techniques to shorten build times and make the construction process more efficient.
The houses will feature closed-panel construction designed by Perth’s leading passive house designer Luke Kellett, at Kellett Design Group. The design will allow these houses to be built with lower living costs and expenses, leaving more funds available for the care and well-being of the residents.
The homes will also incorporate features and space layouts for people with disabilities to meet the NDIS Standards for Improved Liveability and will be energy efficient and sustainable in terms of design, construction, and materials.
This amazing project by IdentityWA, Zorzi Group, INKA and Kellett Design Group, with funding from the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), is located in the suburb of Koondoola in Perth, Western Australia.
The project is an important step towards creating more sustainable living options for people with disabilities in Perth.
