↘ NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation Yamba

Designed as a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) High Physical Support home in Yamba, New South Wales this project rethinks accessible living through a distinctly Mediterranean lens. Rather than allowing disability requirements to define the character of the home, the design places lifestyle, identity and architecture first — creating a space that feels relaxed, coastal and genuinely cool to live in. Soft curves, earthy rendered finishes, tactile materials and landscaped outdoor spaces give the home warmth and personality, while the planning quietly integrates the requirements of NDIS High Physical Support living. An internal courtyard becomes the heart of the home, drawing natural light, greenery and fresh air deep into the plan while creating a private outdoor retreat that can be enjoyed from multiple rooms. Wide circulation spaces, accessible transitions and considered connections between indoor and outdoor areas are incorporated without making the home feel clinical or institutional. The result is a home designed around independence, dignity and enjoyment — proving that NDIS specialist disability housing can be highly functional while still feeling architectural, expressive and completely at home in the relaxed coastal character of Yamba.
