Aged Care

ARTAS Architects & Planners has a comprehensive understanding of aged care and the complex components that make up not only an aesthetically pleasing facility, but also a functioning, cost effective one capable of meeting management and resident requirements.

ARTAS Architects can also manage the micro-urban landscapes that are incorporated within the overall architectural design of aged care facilities, as well as ensure that its designs assist activities of daily living by promoting positive moods and behaviours.

These principles not only apply to elderly or dementia-affected persons, but to the population as a whole. Fundamentally good public space works as well in a large public area as it does in the smaller-scale public areas of an aged care environment.

ARTAS strives to ensure that quality aged care design helps to:

• Reinforce a sense of safety
• Promote a sense of belonging
• Further an understanding of identity and character

Aged care design promotes the ability to observe (prospect) without being seen (refuge). It is the notion of prospect and refuge that allows for both active and passive participation in the environment that makes an area's ambience feel comfortable and inviting to use.

ARTAS has been extensively involved with aged care facilities over many years and has taken great pride in delivering these quality project outcomes.
