THE GBA APPROACH

At the core of our successful Aged Care design are our relationships with clients. 

Understanding and listening at the beginning of projects through collaborative briefings and consultations means less changes during construction and better cost control.

Our Aged Care Architecture projects:

• Are designed to maximise on the natural light

• Create a physical and visual connection to the outdoors

• Always seek to enable wayfinding and a sense of whereabouts 

• Encourage Resident function, participation and wellbeing

• Strengthen visitor and community engagement

• Maximise operational efficiency and organisation

CHOICE

A design to deliver choice between privacy and opportunities for social engagement including an appropriate mix of accommodation types.

security and safety

Designating public, semi public and private areas which is especially important when integrating with the wider community through sharing of facilities etc. and now with Coronavirus in mind, an environment that can enable social distancing and infection control.

social opportunity and community facilities

Encouraging visitors and community integrated Facilities will strengthen community connection and, promote social engagement, intergenerational connection,  physical activity and generally improve the wellbeing of the residents.

INCLUSIVE DESIGN

Design enabling Environments to reduce the impact of physical limitations, cognitive and sensory impairment.

A buildings design has an impact on the health and wellbeing of residents and those supporting them.
Poor design = poor quality of life. 

What Gary Batt Architects do:

We offer solutions that reflect our leading edge expertise, they respond to site, resident needs, environment, budget and client requirements. We believe the more connected a Care Facility is to the community the more successful it will be. 

We design spaces for everyone, not only the residents but staff and the community. Attracting the community within is essential in making the environment stimulating for residents who are often lonely and bored which in turn helps reduce staff workload. A stimulating space will attract volunteers and visitors and as a result, our clients have a distinctive point of difference in the market place, ensuring their facility is a top choice amongst competitors. 

We combine leading architectural design with clients’ operation system, cost effective practical construction and management. 

We pride ourselves on projects that are completed on time and on budget – a testimony to our commitment to quality documentation and contract administration.

We have a teamwork philosophy which includes all parties from the client to the end user, as we believe that the best outcomes are achieved as a collective.

At Gary Batt Associates Architects we seek continuous improvement to expand upon our knowledge, experience and to integrate this into our work.
