Building & Safety
Engineered for endurance
Building & Safety
Engineered for endurance
Redevelopment of the care facility in the Merivale Retirement Village required comprehensive planning to ensure structural integrity and high standards of design. Envisioned and designed by NZIA registered and award-winning team, Jerram Tocker Barron Architects, the building was built by Jones and Wyatt Construction, a well-known local commercial and residential building company.
Your security and protection is assured as National Building Standards for seismic safety have been exceeded by implementing best practice procedures, such as deep soil mixing. This technique ensures our land is now strong enough to withstand any seismic hazard.
With private garden courtyards and views of beautifully landscaped grounds, a variety of care levels is catered for in the two-storey architecturally designed main building. This includes a mix of care wings and ground floor serviced apartments with central heating, reticulated fresh air, underfloor heating in ensuites and 24-hour emergency call buttons for nurse support. For independent living with as much support as you need, we provide exquisite two bedroom Palazzo Apartments, free standing luxury Villas and premium three bedroom Townhouses.
