Best seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Controversial plans for a new multi-million dollar seniors village on the Oatlands Golf Club site have progressed, despite concerns from residents.
The Oatlands Golf Club has moved ahead with its plan for the divisive new housing development, with Mirvac recently submitting a Development Application with Parramatta Council.
The proposal seeks approval for seven buildings ranging from three to eight storeys containing 155 independent living units for seniors and people with a disability, a new registered club to service the Oatlands Golf Course and 405 car parking spaces over two basement levels.
The development would take up approximately 1.6ha of the 41.8ha of the 18-hole golf course, with the buildings comprising of 141 apartments and 14 townhouses.
The architectural design report said the apartments will create a “highly functional, highly accessible and highly desirable” living experience for residents, with the townhouses expected to provide a “lovely laneway community feel”.
The Global Award winner will be announced in April in London. (Globals)
