Horizon Housing have experienced a huge amount of growth over the past few years. Currently we manage 691 properties across Qld and thanks, in part, to stimulus funding we are in the process of developing many more homes. In short it has been a very busy year in the roll out of new dwellings, including new properties built by HH, tenancy mangment of properties and NRAS. With 23 construction projects completed in 10/11 Financial yr. we have developed 141 new dwellings for the affordable and community housing market during this period alone. Of these 23 construction projects 3 have been nominated for the Qld Boral UDIA Excellence Awards. All of these projects have been nominated because they demonstrate delivery of innovation in affordable and community housing.  Our focus on integrating social and affordable housing into communities has resulted in our mixed tenure community project in Coomera.   Our Cleveland affordable housing development has been nominated because of its affordable, adaptable and environmentally friendly design which has been integrated in to the heart of Cleveland's CBD.   More information on our third omination delivering housing suitable for people with disabilities is discussed below.   With 5 projects due for completion and  2 projects due to commence construction in 2011/2012, we will be continuing to make a significant contribution to the affordable and community housing market over the next year.

Key Worker Housing
Setting a benchmark for affordable, eco-friendly living, HH have teamed up with Koho architects to deliver  key worker accommodation on the Gold Coast.  This development at Surfers Paradise will incorporate 8 independent units, all with; kitchenette, bathroom and deck as part of a large house.

This project has been designed to utilise environmental design principles and through many community partnerships this project will be built to a minimum 8 star standard under the Building Energy Rating Scheme (BERS). Featuring  6KW of Solar power, large rain water tanks and water treatment, a green wall to reduce heat and recycled sustainable products this property will challenge the notion that “green” housing is a more expensive option. 

Targeted at providing accommodation for key workers such as teachers and hospitality employees, this project will deliver much needed affordable and sustainable accommodation  in the heart of the Gold Coast.

 

 

 A new model for  quality shared accommodation has created a unique opportunity for HH to fill a gap in delivering housing for  people with a disability. This development, designed by Koho Affordable Housing, incorporates 4 independent units as part of larger shared house. All of the units  have a private kitchenette, bathroom and deck, making it possible to have personal space and independence while living in shared accommodation.
