Completed in 2020, this large-scale project introduces 49 apartments spread across two multi-storey buildings and a new 950m² community centre to the aged care portfolio nurtured by Bupa in Christchurch. The challenge of designing livable, desirable and marketable high-density residential solutions is difficult enough without the sensitivity required for senior demographics. This challenge is met and answered through meticulous spatial arrangement. A balance of functionality, efficiency and generosity offers apartment living as a viable option without compromise. Cost-effective yet strategic, a suburban palette of materials is employed to condense the large building into the residential scale. While the self-contained apartments offer residents with a sense of privacy and independence, extroverted outdoor living spaces in addition to the various communal facilities across the wider village encourage socialisation and promote a culture of connectivity.
