Outcomes
Spowers led the feasibility studies and created the architecture and interior design for this 60-bed aged-care facility in Melbourne’s east. Drawing upon our wide-ranging expertise across residential, commercial, community and education sectors, we brought a dynamic and holistic perspective to this project.
Enhancing street appeal and resident amenity
Mindful of the site’s location within a prime residential area, our design incorporates a basement carpark to discreetly accommodate vehicles without detracting from the streetscape.
Inside ‘The Highbury’ Glen Waverley, residents enjoy generous floor plans and abundant natural light — thanks to a clever configuration that delivers most rooms a north-facing aspect. Our design also features a large courtyard and rooftop terrace. From this high vantage point, residents can access a garden and gym, as well as a prime position from which to take in views of the surrounding neighbourhood and distant Dandenong ranges.
