In Loco Forrest is a three dwelling development designed for people to age in place or for people with higher mobility needs.
The In Loco model is a joint development partnership between architect, builder, landowner and financier. The concept was inspired by stories of ageing landowners who have lived in their single residence for many years, who want to downsize in their local neighbourhood but have found it difficult to find a home that suits their needs. The current landowner will downsize into one of the new dwellings.
All dwellings are designed to meet accessibility standards and will have an energy efficient rating of 7 stars or more.
The development will have high quality landscaping throughout the site that is designed by a landscape architect.
