Two Independent Robust SDA Homes on One Title: A Purpose-Built SDA in Beveridge
Two Independent Homes on One Title | High-Impact Materials | Sound Insulated Bedrooms
23 Balmore Street, Beveridge is a purpose-built 2-participant SDA home designed under the Robust design category. This is a brand-new residence built specifically for participants who need a home that is built to last, designed to withstand heavy use, and supportive of both independence and everyday living.
The layout has been carefully planned to support independence, privacy, and everyday comfort across two separate dwellings. Each home includes its own bedroom with integrated robe storage and private ensuite, giving each person a dedicated private space. The shared outdoor areas and combined garage provide practical benefits while maintaining complete independence between the two homes.
Wide doorways, step-free internal access, slip-resistant flooring throughout, and consistent switch and power-point heights are all built into the design from the beginning. High-impact materials and vandal-proof fixtures ensure the home is built to withstand the demands of daily living. This is a home designed for durability and practicality while still supporting accessibility and safety.
The Heart of the Home
Open, Relaxed and Easy to Live In
The open-plan living and dining area sits at the centre of the home, connecting naturally to the kitchen, bedrooms, and the secure outdoor space. The layout has been carefully planned to support independent living while enabling support staff to assist effectively. The home is designed to feel like a real home rather than an institutional space, with practical features built in from the beginning.
Lighting is designed to be practical for everyday living, with dimmable lighting provided in the main living areas and bedrooms. Light switches and power points are positioned consistently throughout the home at accessible heights to make daily routines simpler and easier to manage.
All internal corridors and passageways provide a minimum clear width of 1000mm, ensuring smooth, accessible movement throughout the home. Door handles are installed at consistent heights between 900mm and 1100mm above floor level, making them easy to reach and use.
Participant Bedrooms
Private, Comfortable and Designed for Real Life
Each participant bedroom is designed to feel like a proper private room rather than an adapted space. Each bedroom includes an integrated robe with adjustable shelves, giving participants more storage and making daily routines easier and less stressful.
Each bedroom is also connected to its own private ensuite. The bathrooms are designed with accessibility in mind, including level-access showers, slip-resistant flooring, and layouts that are easier to move around in while still feeling comfortable and private.
Bedrooms are sound insulated to provide peaceful, restful spaces away from shared areas. This is one of the most important features in participant homes, allowing each person to have a true private retreat.
Kitchen and Living Spaces
Simple, Practical and Participant-Friendly
Each kitchen is positioned to connect directly with the living and dining area, making the home feel open and easy to move around in. Power points, lighting, and controls are positioned at consistent heights to make everyday use simpler.
Both kitchens are fully equipped with fixed cooktop and rangehood, in-built oven, sink with tap, and dishwasher. Robust materials including vandal-resistant benchtops and cabinetry are built to withstand heavy use. Task lighting above benchtops provides practical visibility for safe food preparation.
This layout makes it easier for participants to stay involved in everyday activities such as cooking, relaxing in the living area, or spending time with visitors. The goal is not just accessibility, but a home that feels natural to live in.
