With the housing affordability crisis in full effect, Easy Street Living was imagined with key workers in mind.
Inspired by the global small house movement, it challenged the McMansion mindset with a bold "less is more" philosophy.
These beachside apartments prove that happiness doesn't come from unnecessary floor space, but from skilful design and shared community resources.
Residents are free to use the fleet of e-bikes, car share, and the world's first solar train across the road. Surfboard lockers solve the classic apartment storage problem, while the rest of Habitat delivers cafes, gyms, and co-working spaces to your doorstep.
These pocket-sized dwellings provide everything you need and nothing you don't.
“Inspired by the global small house movement, Easy Street Living challenged the McMansion mindset.”
They use fewer materials, making them cheaper to construct, giving essential workers – the teachers, nurses, pub staff, and artists who make Byron – the chance to rent or buy without the mortgage stress that continues to destabilise the region
