Deluxe Room

There are some bedrooms, intentionally designed so that a bookshelf divides the bedroom from their own private sitting area. All bedrooms have controlled temperature heating/cooling and a smart TV. The details are important with window finishes recessed in the ceilings and integrated bedheads to create a homely feel. Guided by Dementia Design Principles, the rooms are clustered in no more than 4 bedrooms per area so there aren’t long confusing corridors. Each of the rooms varies in shape, breaking away from the cloned repetition and allowing for personalisation. All the rooms have short distances to communal areas.
