T&Z Architects

We are thrilled to announce that T&Z Architects in collaboration with ASPECT Studios have received a commendation for our recent entry into the National "Reimagining Where We Live" competition released by the Department of Health and Aged Care. The competition offered a unique invitation for designers to shape the residential aged care accommodation of the future, and was an opportunity to contribute to the design of aged care homes in which older people would be enabled to live with dignity, respect and enjoyment.   We are grateful for the Jury's recognition and commendation of our concept. The Jury commend the premise of our concept being that;   Aged care design should be a ‘a continuum that binds generations together’ including as ‘a manifestation of gratitude that echoes through generations, reminding us of the profound impact that collective care can have on the fabric of the day’. The Jury went on to state that the “design of the ground floor is ‘envisaged as a vibrant intergenerational public square’ and is well executed with childcare, a ‘village lobby’ and convincing landscape garden setting. Curated spaces creatively transition from internal shared to private space within household hubs described as ‘sanctuaries of comfort and familiarity’.” The Jury commended the spatial planning as inviting a design conversation about choice of foci – outward between the household clusters to the world beyond as well as inward to the aviary.   In pursuit of an ordinary life, we believe caring for our ageing, needs to be a community driven initiative to thank those that have made the community what it is. A celebration of those most respected, our elders. Our vision sees residents in need of care being welcomed by the community - and cared for physically, mentally and socially. We are honoured to be recognized as the only Western Australian firm to receive one of 8 citations in the National "Reimagining Where We Live" competition, highlighting our commitment to innovative design and community-driven initiatives in aged care. A special shout out to the team at T&Z Architect; Marc Karol, Jeremy Feldhusen, Katrina Saitta, and Charlotte Pyle, as well as the Team at Aspect Studios, Tom Griffiths and Shubham Gautam whose dedication and expertise were instrumental in bringing this project to life and we couldn't be prouder of what we've achieved together.   We also extend our congratulations to the winners and all other participants. It’s inspiring to see the innovative ideas emerging in our industry, enhancing and redefining how we think about residential aged care design.   For more information and to read the Jury Report, please visit the https://lnkd.in/gWCX8Y6y #Architecture #Agedcare #Innovation #Community #DesignExcellence #TZArchitects
