Frenchville (Kerrigan Street)

Enjoy the Freedom of Your Own Robust SDA Home

These contemporary one-bedroom Robust SDA villas have been carefully designed to support independent living while providing the flexibility and functionality required to meet a range of complex support needs. Set within Apollo SDA’s vibrant Frenchville community, each villa offers a private sanctuary where residents can enjoy comfort, choice and control while remaining connected to shared amenities and support networks.

Designed to promote autonomy and wellbeing, each villa provides a genuine single-occupancy living experience that balances privacy with accessibility. The spacious bedroom is complemented by a private ensuite, creating a comfortable and personal retreat within the home. The thoughtful separation between private and communal areas helps foster a calm and predictable living environment while supporting individual routines and personal space.

A standout feature of each villa is the dedicated multipurpose room, which offers valuable flexibility to suit changing needs and preferences. Whether used as a sensory retreat, behaviour support space, study, hobby room or quiet area for visiting support staff, this adaptable room enhances the home’s functionality and supports a wide range of participant goals.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, creating an inviting space for everyday living. The layout encourages participation in daily household activities, social connection and skill development while maintaining clear sightlines that enable support to be provided discreetly when required. Practical storage solutions and generous circulation space further contribute to the home’s ease of use and adaptability.

Outdoor living has been thoughtfully incorporated into the design, with covered patios, porches and terrace areas providing opportunities for relaxation, recreation and social engagement throughout the year. These spaces extend the living environment beyond the home’s internal areas while maintaining privacy and independence.

The design aligns strongly with the principles of Robust SDA by providing a private, low-density living environment that supports stability, safety and independence. The combination of flexible living spaces, private outdoor areas and self-contained layouts creates homes that can accommodate a variety of support arrangements while empowering residents to live according to their own preferences and goals.

Each villa provides approximately 159.35 square metres of internal and external living space, including a single lock-up garage, generous living areas and multiple outdoor zones. Residents also benefit from access to the wider community amenities, including landscaped gardens, a BBQ pavilion and a magnesium swimming pool, while nearby onsite overnight assistance accommodation provides additional peace of mind when required.

These purpose-built villas offer an exceptional opportunity for participants seeking a modern Robust SDA residence that combines privacy, flexibility and connection. Through thoughtful design and a participant-centred approach, they create an environment where residents can feel safe, supported and empowered to live life on their own terms.
