The Fabric is a $350m master-planned community by Mirvac, bringing beautifully designed townhomes to the residents of Altona North. The contemporary dwellings achieve a 7-star energy rating, featuring solar panels and fully electric appliances.
Central to the Fabric is Patchwork Park, an engaging outdoor space offering a sculptural playground and shared BBQ facilities for the community to enjoy. Designed by Tract Consultants, the central space uses materiality, colour and texture to draw references to the history of the site while maintaining the theme of ‘community fabric’ and inclusion.
Adjacent to the playspace, a community gathering area furnished with custom concrete bench seats and picnic tables provides ample seating, encouraging residents to make use of the open space. Produced by Anston (then SVC Urban), the custom concrete bench seats are made from a sleek dark charcoal concrete mix, with bluemetal exposed aggregate adding another layer to the design. Also featured is an embedded tyre track pattern in the front surface of the bench seats, creating a visual point of interest.
