A Connected Space for Meals, Relaxing and Support

- Participants, support workers and visitors can move comfortably between the main living areas without it feeling crowded.
- The family room provides a welcoming place to relax, spend time with others, or enjoy quiet everyday activities.
- The dining area connects directly with the kitchen, making meals and household routines feel natural and easy to manage.

- It includes: A height-adjustable bench, pull-out pantry, drawer-style dishwasher, wall oven, cooktop, practical bench clearances
- These features help make the kitchen more usable for participants while also supporting SIL providers with everyday meal preparation and household tasks.
Private Rooms with Space, Storage and Independence
- The home includes: Two participant bedrooms, each designed as a private, comfortable personal space
- Each bedroom includes: A robe, its own ensuite, an adjoining retreat area, giving each participant more than a bedroom alone
- These connected retreat spaces provide room for quiet time, personal routines, visitors, hobbies, or a more private place to relax away from the shared living area.
- Both participant bedrooms include provision for future ceiling hoist installation, with supporting structure capable of accommodating a 250 kg load.
- This is an important feature for participants with higher physical support needs, helping the home remain suitable as support requirements change over time.
- The separation between the two participant bedroom zones also supports privacy in a shared living arrangement.
- Each participant has their own bedroom, bathroom, and retreat area, while still being connected to the shared kitchen, dining, family, and outdoor spaces.
Accessible Bathroom Spaces with Privacy Built In
- Each participant bedroom connects to its own private ensuite, supporting dignity, independence, and personal routine.
The ensuites have been designed for High Physical Support use with accessible layouts, step-free shower areas, slip-resistant flooring, lever-style fittings, reinforced walls to support future installation of grabrails or other fixtures if needed.
- The home also includes a separate bathroom near the laundry and garage area.
- This improves day-to-day functionality and helps keep participant ensuites private.
- These bathroom spaces are designed to support both independent use and assisted personal care.
- The layout gives participants their own private bathroom while providing support workers with practical, safer working spaces.
Accessible, Practical and Easy to Use Day to Day
- The kitchen is designed to help participants stay connected to everyday household life.
- Its position beside the dining and family areas makes it easier to be involved in cooking, mealtimes, conversation, and shared routines.
Together these contribute to a kitchen that is flexible and participant-friendly: the height-adjustable bench, pull-out pantry, drawer-style dishwasher, accessible bench depth, lever-style fittings.
- These inclusions support different levels of independence while also making the space easier for support teams to work in.
- The nearby laundry adds practical convenience for household routines.
- Its location keeps service functions close to the kitchen and bathroom areas while maintaining separation from the participant bedrooms.
OOA Accommodation Positioned for Practical Support
- The home includes a dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room, providing a suitable space for overnight support when required. Participants know support is close by, and the rest of the home still feels like theirs.
- The OOA room is positioned away from the main participant bedroom and retreat zones, helping maintain a clear distinction between participant spaces and support space.
- This arrangement is beneficial for both participants and SIL providers, supporting safety, privacy, and efficient overnight support.
Covered Alfresco Space for Fresh Air and Relaxed Use
- The home includes a covered alfresco area that connects with the main family living space. This provides an easy outdoor area for relaxing, enjoying fresh air, spending time with visitors, or sharing a quiet meal outside.
- The alfresco area has been planned with slip-resistant surfacing and step-free connection in mind, helping make movement between indoor and outdoor areas safer and more comfortable.
- The property also includes a front porch and landscaped garden areas, giving the home a welcoming residential feel from the street.
- A 1000L rainwater tank is included as part of the property's practical site design.
