The staged development of this ‘ageing in place’ community includes a new 150-bed residential aged care facility, 142 new independent living apartments across four buildings, a community centre and underground car parking. Thirty-two existing independent living units are to be retained.

The design concept revolves around the notion of a village and encourages interaction between residents. A key feature is the landscapes pedestrian spine which connects each of the buildings and takes on the characteristics of a village centre in the middle of the site. The planning takes advantage of the views and access into the internal courtyard.

The light-filled interior embraces the warm hues of nature, which is expressed through the use of natural stones and textural timbers throughout the interior design of the development.
