Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best retirement housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Stage one in the redevelopment of Invercargill’s Peacehaven Retirement Village, which will ultimately see 38 new units and a residents’ lodge, is set to begin on Monday (23 Jun).
Presbyterian Support Southland (PSS) chief executive Matt Russell said they were very excited to be at this point, with designs completed and all necessary approvals including funding confirmed.
Stage 1a is expected to take 18 months to complete and will involve building 13 units, a mix of standalone and duplex options, and a show home, Russell said.
The show home is expected to be finished by the end of the year ready for viewings, with registrations of interest now open for the new homes, he said.
The entire project is expected to take up to five years to complete.
Maxis Projects’ Nick Hamlin will oversee the redevelopment project.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
