The Yorta Yorta People
Forming part of the Rumbalara Multi-Aged Care Complex, the 19 contemporary single-level, one, two and three bedroom units provide a unique residential solution for Aboriginal elders who may from time to time require community services and support, but wish to remain living in their own community.
Utilising natural materials and passive design principles, the units benefit from their northern orientation to maximise natural daylighting internally with the benefit of private external areas overlooking landscaped gardens.
