Stage 1 of the new Sir David Martin Home at Easton Park, strengthens Whiddon’s vision for a connected, resident‑centred aged care community in Sydney’s south‑west. The three‑storey home enhances comfort, dignity and social connection for residents, expanding the services already offered across the broader Easton Park precinct.
Working within a live environment of more than 500 residents, the project required careful sequencing, clear communication and rigorous safety management. The on-site team maintained uninterrupted operations across the village while progressing a complex build on a constrained site. Whiddon described the development as their “largest and most complicated project to date,” entrusting Grindley to manage the challenges with precision and sensitivity to the needs of residents and staff.
The new extension comprises 78 bedrooms with private ensuites, supported by dining rooms, lounge and sitting areas, landscaped courtyards, a café, reception and staff facilities. Natural light, accessibility and resident autonomy guided the build, while linkways on Levels 1 and 2 connect the new building with the existing Taylor House to support integrated care. The building’s layout and material selections prioritise comfort, operational efficiency and a warm, home‑like atmosphere.
The full scope of work included the construction of the three‑storey aged care home, a basement car park, external landscaping, concrete footpaths and an asphalt driveway. Stage 1 laid the foundation for the broader redevelopment. You can read about Stage 2 here.
