GroupGSA was engaged as the principal consultant to deliver a new aged care and seniors living facility for Opal St Ives in the Upper North Shore of Sydney.

Our Architecture and Urban Design teams collaborated closely on the site master plan and concept design for the facility, producing a site layout that balances a number of considerations including connection to landscape and views, configuration of uses, topography and walkability.

The outcome is a design that offers residents unparalleled amenity that still feels domestic in nature, rather than institutional. Views to the surrounding courtyards and landscaped spaces are maximised as part of a wider biophilic approach to the project.
