The Heart of the Home

• Open, Connected and Easy to Move Through
• The main living, dining and kitchen area sits toward the rear of the home, creating a central shared space that feels open and practical.
• The layout connects naturally to the outdoor alfresco, giving participants and support teams a simple flow between indoor and outdoor living.
• The family and meals area provides space for everyday routines, shared meals, visitors and quiet time at home. It has been planned to feel residential and welcoming, while still allowing for easier movement and support access when required.
• A separate breakout room adds valuable flexibility. It can be used as a quieter retreat, a second living space, or a calm area away from the main household activity.
• In a shared SDA setting, this extra room can make a meaningful difference by giving participants more choice in how they use the home.

Private Spaces with Accessible Ensuites

• Both participant bedrooms are positioned with privacy and everyday comfort in mind.
• Each bedroom includes its own ensuite, helping participants maintain independence and dignity within their personal space.

The bedrooms are designed to accommodate High Physical Support requirements including

Circulation space, robe access, provision for future ceiling hoist installation

• This supports participants who may require mobility equipment, physical assistance or assistive technology as part of their daily routine.
• The ensuite bathrooms are designed with accessibility at the centre, supporting safer movement, easier personal care routines and more practical support delivery.
• The layout allows each participant to have a private bathroom space rather than relying on a shared bathroom for daily needs.

Practical, Accessible and Support-Friendly

• The kitchen is positioned directly beside the dining and family area, keeping everyday activities connected and easy to participate in.

It includes the key accessible kitchen requirements expected in a High Physical Support home with

Planning for accessible bench use, suitable appliance positioning, reachable controls, a wheelchair-accessible pantry

• The design helps participants remain involved in daily routines where possible, whether preparing food, spending time with housemates, or being part of the main household activity.
• The open plan also gives SIL providers and care teams good sightlines across the main living areas.

Support Nearby Without Taking Over the Home

• The home includes a dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room, positioned separately from the participant bedrooms. This allows overnight support to remain close when needed, while still giving participants a clear sense of privacy and personal space.
• The OOA placement supports day-to-day care delivery and helps the home function well for SIL providers, particularly where active overnight support or quick response may be required.

Covered Alfresco and Simple Outdoor Living

• The covered alfresco area connects directly from the main family and meals space, creating an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living. This gives participants a sheltered outdoor space that can be used for fresh air, meals, visitors or quiet time outside.
• The backyard is simple and manageable, supporting easier maintenance while still giving participants access to a private outdoor area.
• The design keeps outdoor living practical, comfortable and connected to the home's main shared spaces.

High Physical Support Features Built into the Design

• This home has been designed from the beginning to support High Physical Support needs.
• Step-free access, wide internal pathways, accessible doorways, consistent switch and power point positioning, accessible bathroom planning and assistive technology readiness are part of the home's design.
• The participant bedrooms include provision for future ceiling hoist installation, and emergency power solutions are included to support essential equipment during short outages.
• Internet connectivity, communication systems and accessible environmental planning also help create a home that is safer, more responsive and easier to support.
• These features are integrated into the home rather than added as afterthoughts, helping the property feel like a real home while still meeting important SDA requirements.
