David Chipperfield Architects, Assemble, and the Australian landscape architect Jane Irwin will create a residential neighborhood on a former dairy farm in Canberra, Australia's Capital, named “Dairy Road”. The master plan comprehends a 14-hectare site in the industrial suburb of Fyshwick and Jerrabomberra Wetlands.
“The future vision for Dairy Road is an interconnected neighborhood where many often-separated parts work together as one ecosystem,” said property developer Molonglo.
David Chipperfield Architects designed thirteen residential structures organized around a public square and wetland ecosystem restored by Jane Irwin Landscape Architecture, to better mirror the site’s pre-colonial state. These new buildings, of three and four plans, will house up to 700 residents.
Assemble will add ten warehouse-style buildings that will be used to house community centers, manufacturing, sports spaces, and work studios. The first new additions are scheduled to be completed in 2024.
