At Stanton Dahl, we know homes should be spaces that bring about honour, wellbeing and dignity. We believe that every individual deserves a living environment that respects their autonomy, supports their wellbeing, and response to their unique needs.
Growing older brings change; sometimes subtle, sometimes profound. It’s the familiar comfort of a favourite chair by the window, the importance of staying close to lifelong friends, or the challenge of maintaining independence while needing extra support. Our designs anticipate these needs, with spaces that adapt to shifting abilities and help deliver a sense of control.
We bring our expertise across aged care facilities, retirement villages, independent living, and assisted living developments into every project. Each space is designed to empower residents to thrive at every stage of life.
Our multidisciplinary approach brings together deep sector knowledge, regulatory expertise, and innovative design thinking to create environments that offer both care and comfort. From ageing-in-place solutions to flexible, future-ready spaces, we design for every stage of aged care and retirement living. Because ageing isn’t about losing independence, it’s about adapting spaces to ensure that dignity and community remain central to life’s next chapter.
Our team has extensive experience designing aged care facilities that balance comfort with clinical functionality. We integrate care models directly into our architectural solutions, ensuring spaces support both residents and staff. Every design promotes dignity, independence, and wellbeing, with seamless layouts that foster community connection while allowing for privacy and personal space.
Retirement should be about choice and independence. We design retirement villages and seniors living developments that offer flexibility and adaptability for different stages of ageing. Our spaces encourage social engagement, cater to a wide range of care needs, and support active, fulfilling lifestyles for residents.
Our assisted living designs bridge the gap between independent living and aged care, offering flexible spaces that adapt as residents’ needs evolve. This approach allows individuals to remain in their homes, as their care requirements increase, supporting independence and enabling couples with differing care needs to stay together. The reduced stigma associated with moving into assisted living, compared to traditional aged care, also leads to faster uptake and higher demand for Independent Living Units (ILUs).
We take a proactive design approach that integrates ageing-in-place principles from the outset. By anticipating future care needs including space requirements, accessibility and service delivery, we help providers create adaptable environments that also boost the long-term viability and marketability of their developments.
We have a deep understanding of the regulations governing aged care facilities, including compliance with NCC Class 2 and NCC Class 9c requirements. Our expertise ensures that every project meets current standards while being adaptable to future changes in regulations and care delivery models.
Every successful aged care or retirement living development begins with a clear, strategic masterplan. Our planning process starts on-site, where we assess the existing environment and consult directly with key stakeholders, including leadership teams, operational staff, and residents.
We conduct thorough facility audits to assess the condition, function, and adaptability of existing infrastructure, ensuring that any new development integrates seamlessly with existing assets. Our plans are designed to evolve over time, accommodating changes in demographics, care needs, and regulatory requirements while supporting the long-term goals of providers and residents alike.
