The Heart of the Home

• Open, Functional and Easy to Navigate
• At the centre of the home is an open-plan kitchen, meals, and family area that connects naturally to the rest of the house.
• The layout makes it easy to move between spaces without obstacles, supporting a calm and predictable environment.
• The living area flows directly to the outdoor alfresco space, creating a simple transition between indoor and outdoor living.
• This connection helps the home feel open without becoming overwhelming, while also allowing staff to maintain clear visibility when needed.
• Lighting and controls are positioned consistently throughout the home, making daily routines easier and more intuitive.

Private, Secure and Designed for Everyday Living

The home includes

Two participant bedrooms, each designed to provide a comfortable, secure personal space

• These rooms are positioned to allow privacy while still being close to shared areas and support spaces.
• Each bedroom is built with durable materials and includes sound insulation to improve comfort and reduce noise.
• The design supports long-term use, with finishes and fixtures selected to withstand everyday wear while maintaining a homely feel.

Accessible, Reinforced and Easy to Use

• Bathrooms within the home are designed to be both practical and safe.
• Step-free showers, slip-resistant flooring, and clear internal layouts allow for easier movement and reduce risk.
• Walls are reinforced to support fittings and future adaptability, which is an important requirement in Robust SDA homes.
• These spaces are private and functional.

Durable, Practical and Connected

• The kitchen sits within the main living area, allowing participants to remain connected to daily activities. It has been designed with durability in mind, including robust cabinetry and finishes suited to higher-use environments.
• There is clear space in front of appliances, making the area easier to navigate whether used independently or with support.
• The layout encourages participation in everyday routines such as cooking and socialising.

A Flexible Space for Calm and Support

• A dedicated breakout room is included as part of the Robust design. This is a separate room that can be used as a quiet retreat, a sensory space, or an area to step away when needed.
• Having this additional space is an important feature in shared living environments, as it allows participants to regulate their environment and provides staff with more flexibility in how support is delivered.

Support That Respects Privacy

• The home includes a dedicated onsite overnight assistance (OOA) room, allowing support staff to be onsite when required.
• The design ensures that staff can respond quickly while maintaining a respectful distance from participant living areas.
• This balance helps support independence while still providing reassurance and safety.

Simple, Safe and Easy to Enjoy

• The alfresco area connects directly to the main living space, making it easy to access and use as part of everyday living.
• The outdoor area has been designed to be low maintenance, with slip-resistant surfaces that improve safety.
• This space offers a comfortable outdoor setting without adding complexity, making it easier for participants to enjoy fresh air and time outside.

Built for Robust Living

• Every part of the home has been designed to meet the needs of the Robust SDA category.

This includes

Step-free access throughout, wide doorways and corridors, consistent layout features that make movement easier

• Materials and fittings have been selected for durability, including high-impact wall linings and vandal-resistant fixtures that can withstand heavy use.
• At the same time, the home stays warm and liveable.

Safety is also a key focus with slip-resistant flooring used throughout the home, lockable windows, smoke alarms installed in both bedrooms and living areas.

• The design also includes clearly defined paths for movement and retreat, supporting both participants and staff.
