FERRO CHOW ARCHITECTURE TO CREATE QUALITY DISABILITY HOUSING
Ferro Chow Architecture is set to bring industry leading housing to life for people with disability in Brisbane’s north.
Kedron Haven includes four specialist disability accommodation (SDA) apartments that meet high physical support requirements under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), plus an on-site overnight assistance apartment, suitable for a carer.
The single level apartments also exceed Livable Housing Australia’s ‘platinum’ design standard.
The two-bedroom homes feature assistive and communication technology, 24/7 disability support, solar and emergency power, structural provisions for both ceiling hoists and entertainment, smart control locks, lights and outlets, and roller blinds.
Ferro Chow Architecture Managing Director Jared Chow said the high-quality added extras set Kedron Haven apart from other disability housing.
“From the outset we wanted Haven to be special and our team has worked really hard to strike the right balance between meeting the NDIS’ high physical support requirements and creating beautiful homes where people want to live,” said Mr Chow.
“Some of the innovative design features we’ve incorporated include a sensory garden, hydrotherapy pool and a bocce green that will help future residents to enjoy a great quality of life within the comfort of their own homes.
“It is a privilege for Ferro Chow to be able to support the local community and provide people with disability essential, premium accommodation in a desirable suburban location.
“Construction is due to start early next year and we’re excited at the prospect of opening Haven’s doors to residents by the end of 2021.”
Kedron Haven is located at 189-193 Turner Road, Kedron. The SDA apartments have been designed by award winning Ferro Chow (formally Ferro Arch) Architecture.
