Balconies allow the use of outdoor spaces to extend the living environment. LIFESTYLE Arvida Group : Lauriston Park Arvida has just completed its next generation care centre at Lauriston Park in Cambridge, which sets the bar even higher, says Arvida development manager Justin Marshall. “We’ve taken learnings from previous projects and really delivered an exceptional centre,” he says. Situated on the highest point in Cambridge at 91 Coleridge Street, Leamington, the centre is an Arvida Living Well Community with sweeping views out to the Pirongia and Te Miro Hills. Lauriston Park comprises 183 villas and the care centre offers rest home and hospital level care including specialised dementia care. In contrast with the community’s iconic Victorian homestead Whare Ora, the new care centre, designed by Ignite Architects, features distinctive contemporary architecture. Justin says sustainability has been front of mind. The building maximises sunlight and passive airflow circulation. A fully ducted chilled water and heating system provides an energy efficient solution to temperature control, also with a plumbing system featuring thermostatic controlled showers for resident safety. Balconies allow the use of outdoor spaces to extend the living environment. Materials have a low maintenance finish resulting in lower on-going maintenance costs, resource demand, and extend life and durability of materials.
