A thoughtfully designed ageing in place community featuring a 150-bed residential aged care facility, 142 independent living apartments, a community centre, and landscaped pedestrian pathways, all set in the serene environment of Doncaster East.
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.
