Outdoor Theraputic Training Device (OTTD) Dementia Concept
Based on an evolving understanding of innovative environments for treating dementia in the ageing process, AJA was approached to develop a concept for a unique outdoor remedial training area.
Residential Aged Care Facility – Parkes, NSW
The SCC Parkes RACF was conceived around the idea of providing a rambling, country farm house, much like the situation many of the residents would be used to. The ‘houses’ are limited in size and are accessed off internal ‘streets’ by a ‘front door’, the harsh western plains climate restricting external connections.
Parkes Independent Living Units
Responding to the growing need for appropriate seniors and aged care accommodation in regional areas, AJA has sought to create a village oriented character for this complex of independent living units (ILUs) for Parkes in western NSW.
Design toolkit by AJA: Age'n'dem
AJA are completing a design manual for a local government authority to improve streetscapes for older people and people with dementia, most of whom still live in their homes, to encourage them to get out and engage with their local neighbourhood.
Ageing in Place Campus, Gordon, ACT
This development was the first green field project to embody the design elements of Uniting Care Ageing’s new model based on their ‘inspired care’ principles.
APIA Future Vision Project
Guy Luscombe was approached by the Australian Pensioners’ Insurance Agency (APIA) to produce a design vision for the older person of 2042 in order to inform APIA’s forward planning but also as a PR exercise to assist with their rebranding.
Hamlyn Terrace Master Plan
The client brief was to determine the maximum and most desirable development potential for this existing village and care facility on a significant bushland site near Wyong, NSW.
Uniting Care Design Guide
The old ‘Design Guide’ which, while useful, was not being used and needed to be updated and made more understandable and user friendly. We developed a new approach for the guide based on a ‘step by step’ typical process of procurement and design.
Affordable Housing Units
This affordable rental project consists of 4 x 1 bedroom and 7 x 2 bedroom adaptable units, designed for future use by seniors or people with a disability.
Watermark, Wagga Wagga
Setting a new benchmark for retirement living in regional Australia, this complex of independent living units integrates communal facilities of a heritage listed former Catholic seminary with 56 contemporary apartments set in landscaped grounds on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River.
