Creating living environments designed for seniors retirement living and aged care.

Creating living environments designed for seniors retirement living and aged care.

This staged 147 bed RACF development including a 200sqm Allied Health & Wellness Centre is integrated thoughtfully with the picturesque natural setting and native landscape. The site planning is focused around the retention of the stunning established trees and views to the adjacent bushland reserve.

The built form is broken into a series of smaller envelopes that reflect the residential scale and character of the surrounding area. The façade articulation and finishes provide a modern Australian beach house aesthetic.

Arrival is via the porte coche, an elegant, sculptural element, that visually and physically links the entry spaces with the communal facilities at the upper level and the built form behind.

A series of courtyards provide an inward, private focus while encouraging movement and interaction and offering visual connectivity and familiarity between key spaces.
