MODEL and Multiplex Partner for Low-Carbon Build to Rent Projects in Melbourne
architectureanddesign.com.auMODEL has partnered with Multiplex to develop two Build to Rent projects in Melbourne using mass timber and all-electric designs. The developments include a high-rise timber residential building and the adaptive reuse of a historic factory, both targeting Passivhaus and 6 Star Green Star certifications. These projects focus on reducing embodied and operational carbon through an Early Contractor Involvement approach. By integrating sustainability goals into the early design and procurement phases, the team aims to set a new benchmark for sustainable rental housing in Australia.
