Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LONDON: 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.
Australia’s first over 55s vertical retirement community built on a racecourse is ready to progress to the next stage of development with the addition of 53 luxury apartments designed by architects Cottee Parker.
To be developed over four stages under an agreement with Brisbane Racing Club, the $270-million Bernborough Ascot will – on completion – feature around 300 oversized independent living apartments and penthouse style homes along with spectacular city views and private resort-style amenities.
Scheduled to commence construction in early 2023, the second stage of the luxury retirement precinct will feature one, two and three-bedroom apartments within a seven-storey tower known as Poinciana House, with future residents offered views, open plan living, large balconies for entertaining, high-quality finishes including state-of-the-art kitchens, stainless steel appliances and ample storage.
Residents already enjoy a range of exclusive five-star facilities including a Masters Club and Lounge, kitchen and dining, bar, private cinema, library, and concierge service. The second stage will add a raft of new lifestyle amenities including an outdoor bowling green, health and wellness studio with a pool, yoga space, gymnasium and consulting rooms, a private rooftop terrace, restaurant, and outdoor dining areas.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
