dwp | design worldwide partnership project is finalist for Project of the Year – Ageing in Place

dwp | design worldwide partnership is thrilled to have yet another project recognised for design excellence. Europa on Alma has been announced as a finalist in the Project of the Year – Ageing in Place category for the 9th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards.

Designed for Bolton Clarke, an Australian-based provider of independent living services through at-home care, retirement living and residential aged care, this project is a first class independent living facility created specifically for the ‘baby boomers’ who remain actively involved in the community and are not ready to wind down.

Located in the suburb of St Kilda in Melbourne Australia, Europa on Alma offers the perfect combination of secure independent living, city convenience and a relaxing lifestyle. Only a 2 minute walk from the city tram and surrounded by retail, entertainment and medical facilities.

Inspired by the bohemian history of St Kilda and the community who lived there in the 1970s dwp has designed a residence for that same community that will now call this space their home. “It is a modern blend of new and exciting living that harks back to that old experience of life in St. Kilda” says dwp’s Melbourne Studio director.

Dwp is proud to be continuously receiving industry recognition in all sectors we represent, this recent announcement highlighting our Senior living Sector included.

Rebecca Plumstead dwp Sector Leader for Seniors Living said “It has been a pleasure working with Bolton Clarke in designing Europa on Alma especially as this project is a benchmark for the break away from traditional low level developments in suburban areas and move towards offering a vertical village in urban surroundings. In addition to this, Europa on Alma successfully incorporates both the lifestyle offering for its tenants as well as a care offering when needed.”
