Located in Frankton, the Queenstown Country Club is a luxury retirement village that places an emphasis on lifestyle.
The development offers modern housing, a northern aspect, spacious green areas, picturesque walkways and beautiful views while maintaining the existing landscape corridor along Ladies Mile.
JTB provided full architectural services from concept design through to site observation for the Stage 1 18,000m2 apartment and care building, achieving 6 Homestar® v4.1 Built rating.
The project delivered 97 luxury apartments and an 82-bed care facility with specialised dementia and hospital level care capability.
Arranged over eight wings in three stories, the building’s primary structure is from cross-laminated timber (CLT).
Compared with traditional construction, the structure will store 333 tCO2 (tonnes of carbon dioxide) where an equivalent concrete building would emit 1,942 tCO2.
