Cedar on Collins | Kennedy Associates Architects

Cedar on Collins, a seniors development in Kiama NSW designed by Kennedy Associates Architects, epitomises the client, Fresh Hope Communities, ‘core values’ of Kindness, Connection, Optimism and Integrity.

These values underscore the design which harmoniously balances individuality with community and calmness with activity whilst delivering 56 units, 5 communal areas, 4 roof terraces and 4 activity rooms.

The heart of the development is the 440m2 central space of 3 interconnecting courtyards over 3 levels, supporting community through the interaction of built form with private and communal space.

Earth toned bricks, the excavated ‘rock strata’, characterize the lower level whilst the grey toned upper storey is quite and recessive.

A covered walkway integrates wayfinding, buildings and communal areas, providing intimate recesses along the journey.

Over 50% of the site is landscaped area.

The client, in their response to the design, said,

”Through its intelligent design, the built form feels like home”.
