Exceptional design, exceptional amenity

Manifold Heights

With funding from the Australian Government's Economic Stimulus Plan, the Alexander Miller Memorial Homes in Malvern Grove Manifold Heights have been transformed into housing of the highest standards for older people. The re-development has included the construction of six new units and renovation of eight existing units making them more appropriate, comfortable and truly fit-for-purpose of elderly residents.

By excavating around the central palm tree, provision has been made for five new sunken units and underground water storage. The new units are covered by a roof-top garden.

All units comprise one bedroom and are now configured to be accessible for people with limited mobility. Each unit is wheelchair accessible, has a modern bathroom and built-in storage. All units are six star energy rated.

The design and use of space is breathtakingly inventive. These homes are truly exceptional.
