About this Event
The ENVI Micro Urban Village features the smallest freehold lots in Australia with tiny homes built on land ranging from 38sqm, in Southport.
The brainchild of architect Amy Degenhart, FRAIA, of degenhart SHEDD, and planner Nicole Bennetts, PIA, the homes have been developed on a site totalling 673sqm, on the corner of Meron and Lenneberg streets, which formerly housed a single home.
The most micro home at ENVI, known as the ‘Pico Pod’, measures 61sqm of internal space on a 38sqm lot – about the size of a standard double garage. The home features one bedroom and two bathrooms and is a prime example of taking full advantage of a small lot size.
The project taps into underutilised resources – such as existing streets and pipes – to deliver higher density, affordable living opportunities in highly desirable locations close to infrastructure and lifestyle amenities.
Says Degenhart, “There is a strong, and growing, appetite for this type of urban living, but there are few projects in Australia that deliver it and it is particularly rare on the Gold Coast. We want to showcase the fact that projects which are architecturally curated can offer more for less – you just need the right vision, community engagement, collaboration, clever design and passion to make it happen.”
Take a tour of the Pico Pod on 12 October 2024, as part of Gold Coast Open House. Tours will last for 45 minute starting with a walk through the home, a presentation about the village, a walk around the village.
