120 Kossuth St, Sebastopol VIC 3356

A Home Designed for Real Independence

High Physical Support SDA | 3 Bedrooms

120 Kossuth Street, Sebastopol is a purpose-built High Physical Support SDA home designed for participants who need a home that genuinely supports accessibility, safety, independence, and reliable support delivery.

The layout has been carefully planned to provide a balance of independence and support. It includes three bedrooms, multiple accessible bathrooms, wide circulation spaces, an open plan living and kitchen area, private outdoor space, and a layout that works well for both participants and SIL providers. The design is practical, comfortable, and easy to live in every day.

 

The Heart of the Home

Open, spacious and easy to move through

The main living, kitchen, and meals area sits at the centre of the home and connects directly to the bedrooms, entry, and outdoor area. The open plan layout creates a space that feels calm and easy to navigate, with plenty of room for mobility equipment and everyday movement.

Wide internal corridors and doorways have been designed to meet the High Physical Support requirements, making it easier for participants to move safely between rooms. The single level layout means all essential spaces are on one level with no internal steps, which supports independence and reduces barriers to daily living.

Natural light flows into the living and meals area, while the kitchen is positioned so participants can remain part of daily life even while receiving support.

 

Participant Bedrooms

Private, comfortable and designed for long-term living

The home includes three bedrooms, all positioned to provide privacy while still allowing easy access to support when required. The layout shows three separate bedrooms with wardrobes and nearby accessible bathrooms, making it suitable for shared living while still maintaining personal space.

Each bedroom has been designed with accessibility in mind, including:

• Wide doorways
• Easy access to an accessible bathroom
• Clear circulation space around the bed area
• Layout suitable for assistive technology and future modifications if required

The SDA assessment confirms the home has been designed and completed under the High Physical Support category, including structural provision for ceiling hoists and emergency power solutions in participant bedrooms.

 

Bathrooms and Accessible Design

Safe, practical and ready for support

The home includes multiple bathrooms positioned close to the bedrooms, making daily routines easier and more private. The design reflects the requirements of the High Physical Support SDA standard, including accessible layout, compliant circulation space, reinforced walls for grab rails, and slip-resistant flooring.

These features are not just technical requirements. They make everyday tasks like showering, getting ready in the morning, and receiving support simpler and safer for participants.

 

Kitchen and Daily Living Spaces

Designed to support independence

The kitchen sits within the open plan living area and has been designed so participants can remain involved in daily life. Clear circulation space in front of benches and appliances supports wheelchair access and assisted use when needed.

The layout connects easily to the meals and living areas, which helps create a home that feels natural rather than clinical. Participants can cook, spend time with visitors, or simply relax in a space that feels open and comfortable.

 

Outdoor Living and Private Space

Easy access and usable every day

The home includes a private outdoor living area connected directly to the main living space. This allows participants to spend time outside without barriers and makes it easier for support workers to assist when needed.

The site plan also confirms step free access from the street to the home and a layout that prioritises safety and independence from the moment someone arrives.

 

Accessibility Features

Built to the High Physical Support standard

This home has been assessed under the High Physical Support SDA design category at Final-As-Built stage. That means it has been built and checked to meet the highest level of accessibility under the SDA Design Standard.

Key accessibility features include:

• Step free access from the site boundary to the front door
• Wide corridors and doorways suitable for mobility equipment
• Accessible bathroom layouts with compliant circulation space
• Reinforced walls in wet areas for future grab rails
• Slip resistant flooring throughout the home
• Structural provision for ceiling hoists in participant bedrooms
• Emergency power solutions installed for essential equipment
• Layout designed to support both independence and support delivery

These are not just features on paper. They are practical improvements that make everyday life easier for participants and easier to support safely.
