The new residential cluster housing development at Macquarie Hospital will allow for specialist supported living within a contemporary residential setting for residents currently on site who have mixed intellectual and physical disabilities as well as challenging behaviours. This development provides domestic style accommodation in 10 group homes, each accommodating 5 residents under the supervision of residential support carers. The central two houses have been designed to house residents with high medical needs. The housing is designed to benefit from the unique characteristics of the site including views toward Kitty’s Creek and the conservation parkland, as well as a north orientation for all living areas. The project has been designed as a master planned housing development with each house functioning independently. The houses are individualized by varying roof profiles and colour schemes. In addition to this, the behaviour challenged houses have been designed with internal finishes better suited to the needs of the residents. The site incorporates a timber boardwalk linking houses separated by Kitty’s Creek. All houses have been sited and internally designed to allow for disabled access and allow for future retrofitting of additional aids such as grab rails on an as needs basis. http://www.govarch.commerce.nsw.gov.au/files/PS_Public_10_Norton_Road_SSL_Group_Homes.pdf
