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.
The first stage of Generus Living Group’s latest high-end retirement village, The Foundation, is due for completion in September this year. Designed by Peddlethorp, the Parnell project is located opposite Pukekawa Auckland Domain and the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
The master plan includes three interconnected buildings situated within an existing heritage precinct, which includes Pearson House and the Jubilee Building, both dating to the early 1900s and built under the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind.
Following seismic upgrades and refurbishment, Pearson House will become part of the Generus development, housing a residents’ café, a cinema, and dining and wellness spaces.
Stage 1, pictured above, contains 46 apartments, most of which have two or three bedrooms; each one includes a separate scullery, study and laundry.
The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
