IRT Towradgi Aged Care Village

The Journey

The redevelopment of IRT Towradgi transforms an existing aged care facility into a contemporary coastal community with 81 independent living residences. The Master Plan features a mix of villas, villa-style apartments, and three-storey buildings set around open parkland, with a clubhouse and café providing spaces for social interaction.

 

The architecture draws inspiration from its coastal hinterland setting. It has been carefully layered in composition, with landscape, materiality, and colour selections fostering connection to nature. Durable, low-maintenance materials such as brick, fibre cement, steel, and glass ensure the development melds seamlessly into context.

 

Sustainability is embedded throughout, with solar power, EV charging stations, stormwater reuse, and energy-efficient systems supporting long-term resilience and liveability. The site layout and building orientation are carefully planned to mitigate flood risk while enhancing resident amenity.

 

IRT Towradgi offers a thoughtfully integrated coastal village that fosters independence, connection, and long-term sustainability.
