Open Arc Collective

Aged Care

The design represents a holistic approach to aged care — one that blends architecture, landscape, and compassion. It is a place where residents feel valued and at peace, where families feel welcome, and where every space contributes to a life lived with dignity, comfort, and joy.

The design of this aged care facility places equal emphasis on functionality, comfort, and dignity, creating an environment that feels like home while supporting the highest standards of care.

Circulation is planned with clarity and accessibility in mind, ensuring seamless movement throughout the facility. Open-air courtyards and landscaped gardens are integrated into the layout, providing restorative green spaces that enhance wellbeing and offer opportunities for social connection or quiet reflection.

Communal areas — including living, dining, and entertainment spaces — are designed to foster community while maintaining a warm, residential character. Visitor spaces are welcoming and accessible, encouraging interaction between residents and families.

Private rooms with ensuite bathrooms priorities independence and comfort, each oriented to maximize natural light and ventilation. Support facilities such as kitchens, storage areas, and staff units are strategically located for efficiency, while nurse stations are positioned for unobtrusive yet effective supervision.

The design proposal combines architectural precision with human-centric design, delivering a facility where residents experience both security and a genuine sense of home.
