Purpose-Built 2-Participant High Phyiscal Support SDA Home
This purpose-built Specialist Disability Accommodation home at 12 Youyangs Street has been designed and certified under the High Physical Support category, offering a high level of accessibility, safety, and support while still feeling like a comfortable and modern home.
The home has been carefully planned to support two participants with their own private spaces, while also allowing for easy movement, effective support provision, and a strong sense of independence. Every part of the design has been considered from the beginning to meet SDA requirements, rather than being adapted later, resulting in a layout that feels natural, practical, and easy to live in.
The Heart of the Home
Open, Functional and Easy to Navigate
At the centre of the home is a spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that connects seamlessly to the rest of the house. The layout provides clear pathways and generous circulation space, allowing participants to move freely and comfortably throughout the home.
The living area is designed to accommodate mobility equipment while still feeling relaxed and homely. Consistent placement of switches, power points, and controls makes everyday tasks easier and more predictable. The connection between indoor and outdoor areas also allows for smooth transitions and flexible living.
Participant Bedrooms
Private, Accessible and Built for Independence
The home includes two participant bedrooms, each designed to provide a high level of comfort, privacy, and accessibility. Both rooms allow for clear circulation around the bed and include built-in storage, supporting daily routines with ease.
Each bedroom is connected to its own accessible ensuite, designed with step-free showers, appropriate circulation space, and reinforced walls for future assistive equipment. The bathrooms are laid out to support both independence and assistance when required, while still maintaining privacy and dignity.
Provision has also been made for ceiling hoists in participant bedrooms, ensuring the home can support higher care needs both now and into the future.
Kitchen and Living Spaces
Practical, Accessible and Designed for Daily Living
The kitchen is positioned within the main living area, creating a connected and inclusive environment. It includes accessible features such as a height-adjustable benchtop, accessible appliance layout, and clear space for wheelchair access.
Appliances, controls, and storage have been positioned to make cooking and daily tasks simpler and more manageable. The layout allows participants to be involved in everyday activities while maintaining safety and ease of use.
Overnight On-Call (OOA) Room
Support Available Without Compromising Privacy
A dedicated Overnight On-Call room is included within the home, allowing support staff to be present when needed.
The OOA space is positioned to provide quick access to participant areas while maintaining separation, ensuring participants can enjoy independence while still having reassurance that support is nearby.
Bathrooms
Accessible, Safe and Future-Ready
All bathrooms are designed to meet High Physical Support requirements, including step-free showers, accessible WC positioning, and compliant circulation spaces.
Fixtures such as lever taps, adjustable shower heads, and reinforced walls provide flexibility for future modifications and assistive technology. The layout supports both independent use and assisted care when required.
Outdoor Area
Simple, Safe and Easy to Enjoy
The home includes a private outdoor area that is directly accessible from the living space. Step-free accessways connect the home to external areas, providing a safe and continuous path of travel.
Outdoor spaces are designed to be low maintenance while still offering a comfortable area to relax, socialise, or enjoy fresh air.
Accessibility and Robust Design
Designed for Safety, Comfort and Long-Term Support
This home has been designed to meet the High Physical Support SDA Design Standard, incorporating key features that support both participants and support providers.
Wide doorways, step-free accessways, and minimum corridor widths allow for easy movement throughout the home.
Bathrooms and kitchen spaces include accessible layouts with appropriate circulation and clearances.
Provision for ceiling hoists and assistive technology ensures the home can adapt to changing needs.
Emergency power solutions, intercom systems, and reliable internet connectivity support safety and communication at all times.
