Belmont Retirement Village by RUBI Architects

ArchiPro Project Summary - Belmont Retirement Village sets a new standard for retirement living, emphasizing thoughtful design, community engagement, and a harmonious relationship with the Barwon River nature reserve while enhancing the heritage value of existing structures.

Title:: Belmont Retirement Village
Architect:: RUBI Architects
Category:: Planning/; Master Planning

Australia’s aged population is growing with people living longer, healthier lives and this is creating considerable demand for lifestyle housing alternatives during retirement. RUBI Architects were charged with an ambitious brief to design the Belmont retirement village that would potentially become the new benchmark for quality designed retirement communities. The strong design of Belmont Retirement Village focus was placed on human bulk and massing, context, the relationship to the Barwon River nature reserve, overall scale, diversity in the residential offering, and strong community engagement breaking the stereotypical norm of dense, overwhelming developments. The Belmont Retirement Village achieves a modern identity while enhancing the heritage value of existing buildings on site.

RUBI Architects. RUBI Architects is an architect-led studio based in Geelong, founded in 2017 by architect Alex Rubilar. We design bespoke luxury homes, coastal residences, renovations and residential developments across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast, the Great Ocean Road and Otways, and Greater Melbourne — and undertake boutique, high-end commercial architecture and interior design. We believe in great design ... but we're also realists (and that's a good thing) Drawing on international experience across Chile, the USA and Tokyo, grounded in intimate local knowledge, we ground every project in what can genuinely be built on your site and budget — so the result is both beautiful and deliverable. We stay hands-on from first sketch to finished build. Our diversity of skills and global experience give you confidence you're receiving top-tier service from an approachable team. Alex is with you for the life of your project, openly sharing his design and technical insights. Great design is buildable design Here’s the thing; good architecture does not need to be pretentious in complexity or novelty in order to be experiential. We believe good design balances sustainability, craftsmanship and the wellbeing of people. It prioritises locally sourced materials, flows with the rhythm of life and makes a positive contribution to a neighbourhood.
