At Assemble, we're building a future where more Australians can access and live in sustainable, affordable and well-designed homes and neighbourhoods. We've made it our mission to design new ideas for a better, fairer housing system – one that cares for the people and places within it.
By setting the rent and purchase price of our apartments for up to five years, we're helping people to experience life in their homes as they prepare to buy them - without the housing market racing away from them.
Now complete and ready to move in, each apartment within 15 Thompson Street is designed for the things you'd expect: durability, functionality and longevity. High-quality fixtures take care of that.
We also designed homes for what we know makes life healthier inside, like natural light and cross-flow ventilation. The interiors are a simple, essential backdrop to your everyday life.
Our building is also 100% electric – no fossil fuels are used for heating, cooling, cooking or power. Solar panels on the roof power the shared spaces with renewable energy. Open-air walkways support apartments to be more energy efficient, keeping them cool in the summer. On the ground floor, a considered mix of plants and trees helps to cool the entire building and support biodiversity.
Here, environmental and social sustainability go hand in hand. Shared spaces across the building are an extension of your own home, designed to foster neighbourly and community connections. The rooftop for leisure and play. A bookable room for different uses – from dinner parties to Crafternoons. A workshop for doing all those messy jobs – fixing bikes or building planter boxes. And, most importantly, a bookable two-bedroom guest house for when guests come to stay.
Kensington is a suburb in transition. Walking its streets, you can see how a recent industrial past is shifting to provide new ways to live together – through different types of housing to cultural and commercial centres like YoungHusband. We decided to build 15 Thompson Street here, to connect you to the many parks, pools and playgrounds, alongside train lines and trams.
