Buildings made to last, powered by the sun.

Construction progress at Ys Housing project, showing timber detailing and sustainable building materials.

Ys Housing is focused on the design and delivery of high-quality housing in Melbourne. We create homes that improve the lives of residents and the community around - to shape a fairer, more vibrant city.

We believe in density done well, and work hard to deliver better architectural outcomes for the city. All our design and development is in-house, so we learn like a startup and deliver our craft like an old master. Each of our projects are embedded with sustainability from the beginning, so our homes are enduring, beautiful to live in and low-cost to run.

Our goal: to support the delivery of one thousand new affordable homes by 2030. Join us.

Designed and built to last

Courtyard Design at Edwar des Street

We bring our skills in architecture, urban design, engineering and technology to every detail, in every home. We are not trend driven. Our spaces are enduring, even timeless, inspired by contemporary, unadorned, Japanese design.

Our architecture is restrained, deliberate, simple, and joyful - embracing of the natural imperfection of raw materials. We aim to create a backdrop - ready to absorb the style and creativity of the resident.

Any extra power needed comes from 100% renewables on the grid.

Water sensitive gardens

We embrace the landscape and water as foundational elements for each project. Trees, gardens and courtyards provide tranquil places to rest, play and grow.

Rooftop rainwater is reused. Stormwater is slowed and absorbed by the trees - providing beauty, nutrients and shade - protecting our waterways.

We partner with Realm Studios, CRC for Water Sensitive Cities and Monash University to learn from the best in integrating natural systems.
