We are delighted that Habilis has received a commendation for sustainability in this years AIA NSW awards. Many thanks to the jury, who commented:

“Habilis, in Sydney’s Summer Hill, demonstrates that the challenges of our cities and communities are not insurmountable. A model for supported housing, Collins and Turner have transformed a former warehouse site and its embodied carbon into dignified homes for people facing homelessness and mental illness. High performance, 100% electric studio apartments wrap around a courtyard garden, providing protection from a harsh urban site as they face into the adjacent greenway. The architects’ approach demonstrates great sensitivity, humility, and intelligence,”
