Ageing in place is about choice, dignity and autonomy. It alleviates pressure from oversubscribed aged care facilities while maintaining social and community support. It also maintains relationships with each other and family.
Eleanor, an 1890’s double storey Victorian is located at the end of a row of terraces. The prominent corner site is opposite a primary school within a heritage streetscape.
Like a faithful old suit that needs re-tailoring this house required alterations and repairs to meet the changing needs of our eighty-year-old clients. Threading a lift into the house was the project catalyst, generating a reconfiguration of spaces to simplify flow, and support intimacy and care.
