BaptistCare Yarra Rossa Village

Introduction

The BaptistCare Yarra Rossa development in Red Hill, Canberra, reimagines independent living for low-care residents, replacing existing housing stock with a modern, community-focused seniors village.

Designed to provide comfort, security, and connection, this development creates a dynamic and supportive environment while maintaining the residential character of the suburb.

Responding to strict site constraints, the design incorporates a maximum height of two storeys and generous setbacks, ensuring harmony with the surrounding neighbourhood. At its heart, the development promotes active and engaged living, with a range of resident facilities including a swimming pool, health club, and landscaped gardens, all conveniently connected to the residential units via accessible pathways.
