A Secure and Spacious Robust SDA Home in Winter Valley

2 Participant Bedrooms | 2 Private Ensuites | Breakout Room | OOA Included

31 Cormorant Grange, Winter Valley is a purpose-built 2-participant SDA home designed under the Robust design category. This single-storey residence has been created for participants who need a stronger, more durable home environment while still enjoying privacy, comfort and a genuine sense of independence.

The home includes two participant bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite and robe storage. This gives each participant a personal retreat within the home, while the shared living areas remain open, practical and easy to use. A dedicated Overnight On-Call room is included so support can be available when required without taking over participant spaces.

A separate breakout room is also included, giving the home an important extra space for quiet time, emotional regulation, privacy or flexible support. Together with the open living area, secure outdoor space and durable finishes, this home offers a thoughtful balance of independence, safety and day-to-day liveability.

Shared Living That Feels Open and Easy

A Comfortable Main Area for Daily Routines

The main living, meals and kitchen area is a spacious shared zone positioned to make daily life feel connected and easy. It gives participants enough room to move, relax, spend time with others and receive support without the space feeling crowded.

The living and dining area connects directly with the kitchen, helping participants stay involved in everyday activities such as preparing food, sharing meals or spending time with visitors. The connection to the rear deck also helps the home feel more open, with indoor and outdoor spaces working together.

This part of the home is designed to feel practical but not clinical. It offers the openness needed for mobility and support, while still feeling like a proper living room where people can unwind, socialise and feel at home.

A Home Built for Calm, Comfort and Control

Practical Shared Spaces with Room to Move

The main living, meals and kitchen area has been designed as the central shared space of the home. It is open and easy to move through, giving participants a comfortable place to relax, eat, spend time with visitors or be part of everyday household routines.

The kitchen connects directly with the living and dining area, making the home feel open and social without becoming overwhelming. It includes practical features such as robust cabinetry, task lighting, a cooktop, oven, rangehood, dishwasher and an adjustable electric bench. These features support daily use while helping the home remain durable and easy to maintain.

The living area also connects to the alfresco, creating a simple indoor-outdoor flow. This gives participants the option to enjoy fresh air and outdoor time without needing to move far from the main part of the home.

Personal Spaces That Support Privacy

Private Bedrooms with Individual Ensuites

Both participant bedrooms are designed to feel like true private rooms. Each bedroom includes robe storage and its own ensuite, giving participants a personal space for rest, routines and privacy.

The bedroom areas are designed to support comfort and durability. Participant bedrooms include sound insulation, reinforced TV niches and future ceiling hoist provision, subject to installation and certification requirements. These inclusions help the home support a range of participant needs while maintaining a residential feel.

Each private ensuite includes a step-free shower, wall basin and WC layout with clear circulation space. Reinforced sanitary walls, slip-resistant flooring and durable bathroom finishes help support safety, stability and long-term use.

A Kitchen Made for Everyday Participation

Functional, Durable and Easy to Navigate

The kitchen has been designed to support everyday household activity. Its position beside the meals and family area helps participants stay connected to daily routines such as preparing food, sharing meals, relaxing in the living area or spending time with support workers and visitors.

The kitchen includes durable cabinetry and finishes suited to a Robust SDA environment. The adjustable electric bench provides added flexibility, while task lighting, accessible-style hardware and slip-resistant flooring help make the space more practical and easier to use.

This is a kitchen that supports participation, not just access. It gives participants a better opportunity to be involved in ordinary routines while maintaining a safe and manageable home environment.

A Dedicated Space for De-Escalation and Downtime

A Separate Breakout Room for Flexibility

The separate breakout room is one of the most important features of this home. It gives participants another place to go when they need space away from the main living area, or when a quieter setting is more suitable.

For participants living in a Robust SDA home, this additional room can make a real difference. It helps reduce pressure on shared spaces, supports emotional regulation and gives SIL providers more flexibility in how support is delivered.

The breakout room also adds to the overall liveability of the home. It can be used as a calm retreat, a private sitting space, or a flexible support area depending on participant needs.

Support Close By, Without Compromising Independence

A Dedicated Onsight Overnight Assistance Room

The home includes a dedicated Onsight Overnight Assistance Room, providing a suitable space for support staff when overnight support is required. This allows participants to live with greater independence while still having reassurance that support is close by.

The OOA room is separate from the participant bedrooms and main living area, helping preserve privacy within the home. This layout supports both participants and SIL providers by creating clear separation between personal spaces, shared spaces and support spaces.

The OOA area also includes practical safety considerations, including external access associated with the carer’s room. This supports staff movement, retreat and response while keeping the home functional and participant-focused.

Outdoor Living with a Secure Residential Feel

Alfresco Space, Porch Areas and Private Open Space

The home includes an alfresco area connected to the main living space, giving participants a comfortable place to enjoy outdoor time. The outdoor areas are designed to feel simple, secure and easy to maintain.

The property also includes porch areas, driveway access, fencing and private open space. These elements help create a residential setting that feels safe and contained without feeling institutional.

Slip-resistant surfaces and step-free access support safer movement between key indoor and outdoor areas. The result is an outdoor environment that can be enjoyed in a practical, low-pressure way.

Robust SDA Features That Feel Integrated

Durability, Safety and Independence Built Into the Home

31 Cormorant Grange has been designed under the Robust SDA design category. This means the home includes resilient and durable elements that support participants who may need a stronger living environment, while still keeping the home comfortable and residential.

The design includes wide doorways, step-free access, slip-resistant flooring, reinforced sanitary walls, solid core doors, lockable windows, robust cabinetry, durable fittings, sound insulation to participant bedrooms, recessed light fittings and vandal-resistant elements. These details are built into the home to support safety, privacy and long-term use.

The home also includes an OOA room, a separate breakout room and individual participant bedrooms with private ensuites. This combination supports independence for participants while giving SIL providers a practical and support-friendly environment.
