Aged Care / Health Projects
Always pushing new boundaries
V Arc’s experience in health and aged care brings together ideas from all design disciplines
Gary Smorgon House
V Arc and Jewish Care set out to create a home for residents that would allow them to enjoy lifestyle choices coupled with the highest quality care.
Gary Smorgon House is a 120 bed facility that feels more like a hotel then an Aged Care Facility. The entry is warm and welcoming. The Café is adjacent the entry foyer and offers opportunities to sit with family either indoors or outdoors. Opposite the Café is the Beauty Salon that feels like a Salon. Gone are the hairdressers basins in the corner of an assisted bathroom. Also provided is a Theatre Room that can be used by families, an Internet Café, and Lounge and Dining areas most hotels would be proud of. The theme is followed through resident rooms and corridors.
