Aged care design and seniors living

Our aged care design approach creates homelike, intuitive environments that support dignity, independence and comfort.

Working closely with providers, staff and communities, we deliver spaces that balance safety, usability and a welcoming sense of home, aligned with the National Aged Care Design Principles and Guidelines, so every resident can enjoy a high quality of life.

Our approach to aged care architecture centres on the resident’s experience – creating places that feel familiar, calm and easy to navigate. As experienced aged care architects in Sydney, Adelaide and regional Australia, we work closely with providers and staff to design environments that support wellbeing, safety and everyday independence.

We work across new builds, extensions and refurbishments, ensuring every project feels welcoming, familiar and comfortable for residents, regardless of its scale or complexity.

Nursing home design and residential care

We design comfortable, human-scaled environments for residential aged care. Our work in aged care facility design balances care needs with privacy and social connection.

Project examples:

Acacia Court Aged Care Centre

A bedroom with a single bed, pillows, and a blanket, next to a window with curtains, and a small table. An adjacent sitting area has two blue armchairs with pillows, a round table with a flower arrangement, and framed artwork on the walls.

Retirement village design and independent living

We deliver retirement village design, supported living units and small-scale seniors housing focused on accessibility, ease of movement and passive climate performance. These environments help residents maintain independence and stay connected to their community.

Indigenous Elders housing

We deliver culturally appropriate, adaptable housing design for Aboriginal Elders, informed by Country, community consultation and landscape. Village-style layouts, shaded verandahs and outdoor gathering spaces foster connection, comfort and familiarity.

Refurbishments and health facility design

Our work includes aged care building design for brownfield upgrades, staged extensions and refurbishments that allow facilities to remain operational. We also support health facility design, improving circulation, visibility and orientation while applying the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission’s dementia-friendly principles.
