Carmelite by Southern Cross Care (SA&NT) has taken out the Seniors Living Award in the UDIA Wingate National Awards for Excellence.

Carmelite’s design of a 5 level, vertically integrated retirement living and a residential aged care facility has allowed Southern Cross to follow an ‘Aging in Place’ philosophy.

Co-located with significant heritage buildings, the result is a striking monumental form, segmented by selected stone facing, contrasted by a dark colour palette.

Well done!
