This project pioneers accommodation that considers different ways of family living, in response to the growing number of retirees from China and other cultures in Australia’s retirement villages. Tao Home in Box Hill, Victoria, Australia, was designed to provide independent living for Chinese seniors. The 82 building comprises 82 dwellings, with one- and two-bedroom options as well as dual-key apartments. The dual-key arrangement allows multiple generations to live together while maintaining both privacy and connection. Apartments are equipped with Chinese satellite TV, universal power plugs for Chinese appliances, a kitchen rangehood for Chinese stir-frying, and optional joinery on the balcony for a wet kitchen — a common feature in Asian homes. The complex also features a traditional Chinese wellbeing centre and an area for playing Mah-jong. Integrated design features for elderly residents include seats and grab rails in the bathrooms and an emergency call system. A walking track and landscaped roof encourage activity and interaction.
