Excellence in Construction of Commercial Buildings over $6M – Special Commendation
The detail and execution of this project was second to none, with care and pride for the project provided from start to finish.

Parquetry flooring throughout the main living areas and marble panelling on the bathroom walls adds an appeal of luxury, as does the four-piece, book-ended panel of marble found underneath the suspended fireplace. Curved walls in the gallery and bedrooms made for interesting features to further highlight the stunning outdoor views.

The facility will accommodate 112 residents in 14 eight-bed apartments. The new building extension will house 64 residents in eight apartments over two floors. The Benetas model abandons the traditional hospital-oriented approach to aged care design and the negatives associated with that mode, such as resident isolation and reliance on staff for transportation.
