Established in 2000, Quattro Architecture has developed into an award winning Architectural practice with offices in Sydney and Canberra. With an impressive folio of successfully completed projects Australia wide we have developed a depth of experience in a number of project areas.
HEALTH & AGED CARE ARCHITECTURE - SYDNEY & CANBERRA
Your facility should work as hard as your team does.
Quattro Architecture are experienced aged care architects who design compliant, resident-centred environments, and guide your project from concept to handover without surprises.
WE GET IT
Major healthcare facilities don't leave room for error. Regulations shift, timelines compress, and the consequences of a poorly managed project aren't just financial; they affect the people in your care.
You need an architect who treats that seriously. Not one who produces beautiful drawings and hands the hard part back to you.
WHAT WE DO
Aged care architecture and health design, handled end-to-end
We work with hospitality and healthcare organisations across Australia to design, document, and deliver facilities that meet the Aged Care Quality Standards, satisfy planning authorities, and hold up under real operational pressure. Here's exactly what that looks like.
01
Discovery & Briefing
We sit with your operations and facilities team to understand your current pain points, resident profile, staff workflows, and growth plans. Your brief drives every decision that follows.
04
Planning & Approvals
We prepare and manage your DA or CDC submission, liaise with councils and certifiers, and handle RFIs so approvals don't stall your programme.
02
Concept & Feasibility
We develop design options with massing studies and preliminary costings so your leadership team can make an informed go/no-go decision before significant spend is committed.
05
Construction Documentation
Tender-ready drawings and specifications that give builders what they need to price accurately and build to spec, reducing scope disputes on site.
03
Design Development
Full architectural drawings, materials
selection, and coordination with structural, mechanical, and hydraulic engineers. We keep the design legible for your team.
06
Contract Administration
We stay on the job through construction, reviewing progress claims, responding to site queries, and conducting inspections so the finished building matches the drawings.
WHY QUATTRO
What makes us different for health and aged care projects
01
Health architecture in Australia operates under a specific and shifting set of rules: the Aged Care Quality Standards, BCA Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions, infection control guidelines, and state-specific planning instruments. We've navigated all of them. You won't be our first aged care project, and you won't be paying for us to learn on the job.
We know the compliance
landscape, not just the aesthetics
02
A single point of contact from brief to handover
On every project, a senior architect leads your job, not a graduate who escalates every query. That means faster decisions, consistent communication, and someone accountable when things need resolving quickly.
03
Sydney and Canberra offices, national delivery
With offices in two capital cities, we respond quickly to site meetings without billing you a half-day of travel time. We've delivered health and aged care architecture projects across NSW and the ACT, and have
strong local relationships with
planning authorities in both markets.
04
Operational thinking, not just design thinking
We design facilities around how staff actually move, where equipment actually lives, and how residents actually experience the space, not around what looks impressive in a render. That approach shows up in lower ongoing maintenance costs and fewer post-occupancy complaints from your team.
