The Vigilanti team expertly guided Common Equity NSW and All Nations Housing Co-operative — Australia's first Transgender Housing Co-operative — through the refurbishment of seven heritage properties. Eddie brings rare combination of professional design rigour and genuine community engagement skills, delivering a result that was empowering, collaborative, and responsive to the needs and aspirations of our tenants. Both Common Equity and All Nations couldn't be more pleased with the result.
"Working with Vigilanti has been a true partnership rooted in aligned values and a shared commitment to delivering impactful housing outcomes. Their deep understanding of the complexities within the housing sector and ability to translate that into thoughtful, responsive design has brought immense value to the project from its earliest stages."
"We engaged Vigilanti to provide pro-bono support to build a women’s shelter on donated land. It was a difficult plot but Eddie came up with an inventive solution that addressed all of our requirements. He listened to our feedback and was able to interpret the particular needs of a crisis refuge with great skill but also sensitivity to a trauma informed design. His innovative solution has enabled us to reach out to donors with a viable project that addresses the needs some of the most vulnerable people in our society. We are so grateful to Eddie for his support and expertise and would highly recommend Vigilanti as a design provider."
"RYSS needed help with our quest to provide transitional youth housing, and Eddie astounded us! Next, we moved further into concepts, codesign and strategies for a innovative community based Youth Hub Service model engaging young people and collaborative services for our rapidly growing Gosford CBD. Eddie has provided so much to us in his energy, innovation, expertise, guidance, support and understanding on equity and empowerment when building a local community - Eddie is a RYSS superhero to us!"
We know that funding can be the biggest roadblock to an impactful project getting off the ground. That is why we are happy to provide pro-bono design services to eligible not-for-profit organisations to help support your fundraising efforts & unlock funding opportunities
