Baptcare The Orchards Community
By Sora Interior Architecture and Design
Client: Baptcare
Location: Doncaster East
Completion: 2017
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.

About the
Professional
Sora Interior Architecture and Design creates spaces for and with people.
We are passionate about design, and are inspired by the way people inhabit space. We take a considered approach to design, researching and collaborating with our clients to understand the why before the what or how.
Within each project, we embrace the design process with a sense of adventure; allowing curiosity and playfulness to help drive us through our design ideas and material choices.
The results are spaces that people want to engage with; places to eat, to stay, to sleep or work. Thoughtfully designed spaces that help people engage with places better
