Saffron at Links
Saffron at Links is located as a Gateway to the Links Hope Island Golf Course. Our client was looking for a signature development that combined luxury living with sustainability and wellness. The resulting forms and material selections creates a new and modern architectural aesthetic for residents and the Hope Island Community. Curved batten screens provide protection and dappled light to the two storey outdoor alfrescoe areas. The screens take reference from the undulating curves of the golf course greens and bunkers and provide an organic softening to the approach to the golf course.
Symphony Care
Symphony Care Community provides a new model of dementia living - a small home like friendly environment based on providing normal life experiences for people with dementia. The idea is to deinstitutionalise everything about traditional dementia accomodation and care by recognising the unique needs and preferences of its residents. The architecture seeks to connect with the cohort through the use of human scale, familiar references and disconnects with the institution through clever disguising of traditional mobility and support devices. Daily functions are treasured to incentivise as the elderly persons world gets smaller and the simple things become the joys in life. Family, friends and carers play an important role in this environment.
