HammondGrove Miranda was developed to provide older Australians with a welcoming and supportive environment that promotes dignity, independence and connection. Delivered for Client HammondCare, the 92-bed aged care home reflects a person-centred approach to care, combining high-quality accommodation with thoughtfully designed living environments that encourage meaningful daily experiences and a strong sense of community.

The project required the delivery of a highly detailed residential care home with premium finishes across both internal and external spaces. Careful planning, coordination and quality management were essential to achieving the architectural vision while maintaining programme and construction certainty. Collaboration between the project team, consultants and stakeholders ensured complex design elements, specialist finishes and integrated building systems were delivered seamlessly, creating a safe and comfortable environment for residents, visitors and staff.

Resident wellbeing was central to the design and planned around HammondCare’s recognised household model of care. Rather than traditional institutional accommodation, residents live within smaller household communities that foster familiarity, social connection and independence. Shared kitchens, dining areas and living spaces create a genuine residential atmosphere, while a range of communal amenities, including a chapel, hairdressing salon, lounges and landscaped courtyards, support recreation, interaction and quiet reflection.

Architectural features such as powder-coated woodgrain screening, timber cladding and zinc-clad fly roofs contribute to the home’s welcoming character, complemented by custom joinery, feature carpeting and carefully selected finishes. Advanced nurse call systems, intelligent lighting controls and automated louvre systems further enhance comfort, safety and operational efficiency.

The development comprises 92 resident bedrooms, each with a private ensuite and bespoke joinery, catering to both high and low care needs. Fully equipped household kitchens, generous communal living areas and covered links between buildings support everyday living and ease of movement throughout the site. Externally, landscaped courtyards, pergolas, gardening spaces, workshops and raised planter boxes encourage outdoor engagement and connection with nature.

More than an aged care home, HammondGrove Miranda provides a place where residents can maintain independence, build meaningful relationships and continue participating in everyday life. The project strengthens aged care services within the Sutherland Shire and delivers lasting benefits for residents, families and the broader community.
