6. Self Care Hostel, Wycheproof, Victoria

The development of a small self care hostel of ten places capable of expansion to fifteen.

Because of a lack of facilities, residents of this 'wheat-belt' district in North western Victoria, were compelled to leave their community when they were in need of residential care. Designed for expansion, this facility enabled them to continue living in Wycheproof in the company of their family, friends and neighbours.

Floor plan at 15 places
