Viridi, Prahran

An exceptional multi-residential development situated in Melbourne’s prestigious suburb of Prahran, exemplifies innovative design and sustainable construction practices. Initiated by Little Projects and the landowner, Viridi received a number of awards, including a High Commendation in the 2023 THINK BRICK AWARDS for Roof Tile Excellence and Finalist recognition in the 2023 THE URBAN DEVELOPER AWARDS for Excellence in Design Innovation.

The project seamlessly integrates into its surroundings, echoing the natural contours of the landscape while contributing a dynamic visual landmark. Its meticulously crafted façade, adorned with a mosaic-like tessellation of terracotta roof tiles, adds a unique aesthetic to the development.

Comprising 44 highly sought-after dwellings tailored for owner-occupiers, Viridi prioritizes natural light and avoids overshadowing neighboring parklands and pedestrian pathways, thanks to its innovative truss system developed in collaboration with Bolt Blue Constructions and Dynamic Steel Frame. Passive sustainable elements, such as double-glazed windows and thermal insulation, further enhance the development’s energy efficiency and sustainability credentials.

Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions, Viridi was successfully delivered within budget and timeframe, showcasing the seamless collaboration between all stakeholders.

Viridi’s notable achievements also include being a Finalist in the 2022 UDIA VIC AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE and winning both the 2022 VICTORIA STEEL EXCELLENCE AWARDS and the 2022 AUSTRALIAN STEEL EXCELLENCE AWARDS for Innovative Cold Form Steel. These accolades underscore Viridi’s commitment to exceptional design, sustainability, and its significant contribution to the vibrant character of the Prahran skyline.
