PARK LIFE BY ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE
Park Life is located on a corner in the Champion Road Estate Precinct, a largely intact pocket of 1940s Housing Commission duplexes beside the vast Newport railyards in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Williamstown. A cluster of compact houses set well back from curving streets with deep nature strips, the estate was designed using the Garden City principles popular in Australia at the time. The movement – an attempt to marry housing and countryside by combining the best of both worlds – was a response to often grim conditions in inner-city tenements and terraces.
