Aged Care & Retirement
Designing for senior living is about dignity, wellbeing, and connection.
We approach aged care and retirement living with empathy and expertise creating environments that support independence while fostering community. Our work spans high care facilities to lifestyle focused retirement villages, each shaped by deep engagement with residents, operators, and care professionals.
We design spaces that feel safe, uplifting, and easy to navigate, where architecture and interior design enhance how people live, work and connect.
With a focus on quality of life, operational efficiency, and human centred design, we help deliver places that people are proud to call home.
Russley Village
Russley Village
Aged Care & Retirement
This $80 million new retirement village in Christchurch has set a new standard for large scale village developments. It has been carefully designed as a community using best-practice urban design principles. The development consists of independent living villas and apartments as well as care facilities and a large communal building for all residents.
A few words from our client:
"To get the best outcome in a village, a client needs to have a firm vision of what they are trying to achieve and the architect needs to be able to listen, interpret and deliver. In the case of The Russley Village, Dalman Architects have certainly achieved that."
Graham Wilkinson, Director, Generus Group
