Comfortable and Healthy 7-Star Living

Comfortable and Healthy 7-Star Living

Smart design layouts take advantage of optimum solar orientation and ensure cross ventilation and natural light into your home is maximised. Coupled with high performance double glazing to all windows and doors, additional sealing of the building envelope and upgraded insulation, all homes achieve a minimum 7-star NatHERS energy rating, meaning your home is more comfortable to live in.

By designing homes to maximise cross ventilation and natural light, indoor air quality is improved, ensuring homes at The Fabric are as healthy as they can be. High quality low VOC and low embodied energy materials have been selected with longevity in mind. Residents can be confident their home is contributing to lower emissions and a more sustainable future.

The sustainability features have been selected with a focus on reducing energy use and generating renewable energy, both of which assist in reducing the cost of energy bills.

Homes for Homes

Homes for Homes

As part of our dedication to leaving a positive legacy from the communities we create, Mirvac has partnered with Homes For Homes. An innovative not-for-profit initiative led by social enterprise, The Big Issue, Homes for Homes creates new funds to increase the supply of social and affordable housing to help house homeless and disadvantaged Australians.

Recognising the intrinsic value that having shelter brings, in the physical sense and as a sense of belonging and wellbeing, Mirvac has committed to 0.1% of the sale of every townhome at The Fabric going toward increasing the supply of social and affordable homes in Victoria.

Innovative Water Reuse Strategy

Innovative Water Reuse Strategy

Urbanisation can lead to an increase in water supply demand, wastewater generated, stormwater runoff and a subsequent increase in pollutant wash-off. At The Fabric, we are committed to help combat these effects through an innovative water collection and reuse strategy. Passive Irrigation - Street trees within The Fabric will be irrigated by stormwater runoff. This will assist in reducing the use of drinking water for irrigation across multiple green spaces throughout the community. Innovative Rainwater Harvesting System - Rain water from townhome rooftops will be captured and diverted to several tanks underneath the centrally located Patchwork Park. Here the rainwater is stored and then released to irrigate parks and green space.

Livable Housing Design

Livable Housing Design

The Fabric has committed to designing each of the townhomes to achieve Livable Housing Australia (LHA) Silver Design Certification. A Livable home is designed and built to meet the changing needs of occupants across their lifetime.

Livable homes include key easy living features including; step-less entries, accessible ground floor showers and WC’s, stairways designed to reduce likelihood of injury and reinforced walls in bathrooms and ensuites to support the installation of handrails at a later date.

These features make the homes safer and more accessible for all occupants including: people with disability, the elderly, people with temporary injuries and families with young children.
