The new 4,020m2 facility will provide 22 assisted care facility apartments to the ground floor and 47 care facility units to the first floor, all with en-suite amenities.
Each floor provides dining and lounge facilities with commercial kitchen and laundry to the ground floor. Each apartment opens out onto a private outdoor area. The central courtyard provides a large outdoor sheltered space. Additional facilities for the tenants include reading lounge, cafe, residents laundry, hair salon & bar.
The project is in a residential area, requiring resource consent, and consideration of surrounding residential dwellings. The design is carefully considered to break up the form and scale of the building and present a high quality feel that match the vernacular of the surrounding area whilst maximising the allowable site coverage.
