Greenfield Projects
New Retirement Village Development, Sandstone Point
Greenfield projects are shared with us as early as possible in a Aged Care, Disability Accommodation or Retirement Village project, thus affording the project the maximum functionality, suitability and innovation from day one.
Grey Space provides you with innovative, functional and market -appropriate designs. We work closely and collaboratively with the stakeholder and consultant team, including a Builder where appropriate.
Architectural design and documentation typically evolves through hypothesis, exploration, evolution and repetitive reappraisal of a range of ideas and propositions. Designs and options lead progressively to the resolution of a coherent and functional design through a steady, innovative and experienced hand. Evidence of the design concept and it's resolution is demonstrated through generally successive stages.
Upgrades
Residential Aged Care Facility Extension & Refurbishment Redevelopment, Wide Bay
Grey Space provides the most efficient delivery approach for Residential Aged Care and ILU upgrade projects including site-staged extensions and alterations at operationally live sites, giving key clients a delivery framework they can rely on.
Once we have developed with you a detailed brief, a site master plan and supported building Concepts, our expertise allows great outcomes with minimal complexities.
As the Managing Consultant in the process, Grey Space will continually communicate with you regarding the design, program and expected costs.
We will seek input and authority to progress the project through each phase, and will collaborate diligently to give you the comfort and advantage of one point of overall contact and that we take your role in the project seriously and professionally.

Village Planning
Mango Hill Site Master Planning, Retirement & RACF
Grey Space plan, design and detail great independent and supported living communities - this can only come from experience itself. When combined with our dedication to getting out and learning from every site we visit, working closely with our clients and deeply engaging with industry conferences and publications, we can lead the sector, rather than follow.
Managing Director Caroline Treacy, has provided architecture services to approximately 30 such sites over the last 30 years of project experience, and Architect Lee Polmear, similar.
In the current state of change within the Retirement Living industry, working with experts is key. Master planning, design and development without using expert consultants can go horribly wrong and there are numerous examples of this in the past. Now, within the background of change including Aged Care financial focus and reform, rapidly increasing community social needs, village communication demands and expectations, leadership liability and the new Village management process requirements - it is imperative that expert partners support your needs.
