Downs

Opened in 2022, this high quality, residential aged care development in the Wellington suburb of Crofton Downs offers secure, social and low maintenance living.

Rather than taking on an institutional form, the design emphasises the domestic nature of its use, and tucks into the slope of the hillside, blending into the surrounding residential area.

The (16,670m2) development consists of 82 residential apartments and 49 care rooms/suites arranged over four levels. Shared facilities include dining, lounge and activity spaces, a swimming pool and gym, along with service, administration and ancillary areas.

The building is organised into three wings, linked north-south, with landscaped courtyards inbetween.

The non-parallel wings are splayed to respond to the site boundaries, giving apartments that face into the courtyard better access to light and views.
