Warrigal Queanbeyan expands and modernises aged care for 132 residents, creating a warm and connected environment designed to feel like home. Built for our long-term Client Warrigal, the project reflects the shared values of integrity, respect and compassion that define both organisations. Together, these values were the foundation of a successful project.

Delivered under an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Design and Construct contract, the project required the safe demolition of the existing aged care home while maintaining operations across the adjacent occupied independent living units. Careful staging, clear communication and close collaboration with Warrigal ensured minimal disruption for residents and staff throughout construction.

The design focused on creating a sense of home and belonging. A natural material palette, internal courtyards and sculptural lightwells bring warmth and natural light into every level, including the basement, while masonry, fibre cement and composite cladding form a façade that complements the surrounding village. The inclusion of multiple courtyards and circular architectural voids fosters connection and access to nature and natural light.

The full project scope included 124 resident bedrooms and 8 serviced apartments across 2 levels, supported by a commercial kitchen, laundry, café and servery, training facilities, and back-of-house areas. The building also features 2 lifts, landscaped gardens and an underground basement carpark.

Ideally located just 15 minutes from Canberra’s CBD, Warrigal Queanbeyan stands as a vibrant and inclusive residential care community, offering specialised 24-hour care, home-style comfort and opportunities for residents to live with dignity, independence and connection.
