Creating Resort-Style Senior Living on the Sunshine Coast
As Project Manager for the stunning Estia Twin Waters aged care facility, completed in 2017, I had the privilege of delivering one of the Sunshine Coast's premier senior living environments. Now as founder of Gaia Build Co., I'm proud to showcase this development as an example of our expertise in creating sophisticated, purpose-built commercial spaces that truly enhance residents' quality of life.
Prime Location Integration
The strategic positioning of this development required careful planning and execution. We successfully nestled the facility just off Ocean Drive, creating seamless connections with the surrounding Twin Waters Retirement Village while ensuring proximity to beaches, golf courses, public transport, and shopping precincts—enhancing resident lifestyle through location.
Specialised Care Infrastructure
Our team excelled in constructing the complex infrastructure required for: ✔️ Advanced clinical care facilities supporting experienced healthcare professionals ✔️ A purpose-designed Memory Support Unit with secured private gardens ✔️ Specialised palliative care areas enabling dignified end-of-life support ✔️ Flexible accommodation options supporting both short-term respite and permanent stays
Premium Amenities Construction
The project's success is evident in its range of lifestyle-enhancing features: ✔️ A fully-equipped onsite café with commercial-grade barista facilities ✔️ Professional hairdressing salon with accessibility modifications ✔️ Custom-built library spaces with appropriate lighting and shelving ✔️ Multiple activity rooms designed for versatile programming ✔️ A terraced community hub engineered for social gatherings and performances
Resident-Focused Accommodation
Each spacious single room with private ensuite was constructed with specific attention to: ✔️ Maximising natural light while maintaining privacy ✔️ Incorporating universal design principles for ageing-in-place ✔️ Integrating nurse-call systems and safety features discreetly ✔️ Creating personalisation opportunities within a consistent quality framework
This project exemplifies the Gaia Build Co. philosophy—creating commercial spaces that balance exceptional technical standards with genuine human considerations. Our approach to aged care facilities specifically addresses the unique regulatory requirements while never losing sight of the end-user experience.
The resort-style ambiance achieved at Estia Twin Waters demonstrates our commitment to elevating institutional environments into welcoming, comfortable spaces that feel like home while supporting complex operational requirements.
At Gaia Build Co., we bring this same attention to detail, quality craftsmanship, and user-focused design to all our commercial projects across the Sunshine Coast—whether aged care facilities, multi-residential developments, or community infrastructure.
