The Heart of the Home

• Open, Connected and Easy to Navigate
• The central living, dining, and kitchen area creates a natural hub within the home.
• The open-plan layout allows participants to move freely between spaces while maintaining clear lines of sight, which supports both independence and unobtrusive supervision.
• The kitchen connects directly to the dining and living areas, making it easy to participate in daily routines.
• An adjustable-height bench is included to support different mobility needs, and the layout ensures there is clear space to move comfortably around appliances and work areas.
• Lighting, controls, and power points are positioned consistently throughout the home, helping make everyday tasks simpler and more predictable.

Private, Secure and Designed for Everyday Living

• Each participant bedroom is positioned to provide privacy while still being easily accessible from the main living area.
• Both bedrooms include built-in storage and direct access to their own private ensuite.
• The bedrooms are designed with reinforced walls and provisions for future ceiling hoists, supporting long-term adaptability without needing major modifications.
• Sound insulation has been included to create a quieter and more comfortable environment, which is especially important in Robust SDA homes.

Accessible, Durable and Easy to Use

• Each ensuite and the main bathroom are designed with accessibility and safety in mind.
• Step-free showers, slip-resistant flooring, and reinforced walls for grab rails are built into the design.
• Layouts allow for easier movement and clear circulation space, supporting both participant independence and safe assistance when required.

Practical and Built for Daily Use

• The kitchen includes durable finishes and fixtures designed to withstand heavy use, which is a key requirement of the Robust category.
• There is clear space in front of benches and appliances, making it easier to move safely.
• The home also includes a dedicated laundry with appropriate circulation space and a minimum clearance for appliances, supporting everyday independence.

Storage has been carefully included throughout the home

Additional cupboards, shelving to support organisation, reduce clutter

Support When Needed, Independence Always

• A separate study room is included within the layout, which can function as an Overnight On-Call space. This allows support staff to stay on-site when required, without impacting participant privacy or daily routines.
• The home also includes intercom systems, security features, and provisions for CCTV and controlled access, supporting both safety and peace of mind.

Safe, Secure and Easy to Maintain

• The home includes a covered alfresco area connected directly to the main living space, creating a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors.
• Outdoor areas are designed with slip-resistant surfaces and step-free access.
• Landscaping is low-maintenance and includes secure fencing, helping create a safe and comfortable outdoor environment.

Built for Safety, Durability and Long-Term Living

• This home has been designed to meet Robust SDA requirements from the beginning. That means the features are integrated into the design rather than added later.
• The property includes step-free access throughout, wide internal pathways, reinforced walls, durable materials, secure glazing, and commercial-grade fixtures.
• Bedrooms are sound-insulated, fittings are impact-resistant, and lighting is designed to be safe and calming.
• All of these features work together to support participants who require a more resilient living environment.
