Azure Blue, Kawana Waters

Blue Care sought to create an integrated community that promoted independence and enabled residents to age in place. It provides enormous peace of mind for residents and their families when living and care services are co-located, knowing that care is available on-site should it be needed.

The resort-style accommodation was planned to be situated on a 6.3 hectare site in Wurtulla, just north of Caloundra, and to include 48 retirement living apartments, 48 serviced apartments, 36 luxury villas, a 70-bed residential aged care service and allied health care.

“Fulton Trotter Architects won the appointment [of Azure Blue] after a rigorous selection process and their expertise in aged care and retirement projects is widely acknowledged in the industry.”

The Azure Blue Kawana development was to cater for seniors and retirees aged 65 or more. It was to include an array of recreational facilities such as a café, hairdresser, swimming pool, gymnasium, a recreation centre and landscaped BBQ areas.

“We’re very excited to collaborate with Blue Care and are keen to further advance the notion of what’s possible in aged care design,” said Director of Fulton Trotter Architects, Mark Trotter.
