Royal View is a luxurious senior living estate designed by Kunz Raubenheimer Architects for Auria senior living . Overlooking the Kensington golf course , it will comprise of 102 independent living apartments ranging from one- , two- and three-bedroom layouts , as well as spectacular penthouse units . The communal building offers restaurant-style dining , a coffee shop overlooking the golf course , 24 / 7 security and concierge services with 20 assisted living units located on the first and second floor .
A fully equipped wellness centre with an exercise room , gym , biokineticist , physiotherapist and a heated indoor swimming pool together with comprehensive on-site frail care facilities are available to all residents .
The driving concept of the design was to capitalise on the incredible views over the golf course and the beautiful natural surroundings . This resulted in the design of a series of balconies which articulate the façade , while timber solar screens provide privacy and shade . Through the design of planters on the balcony of each apartment , and large private gardens for ground floor units ,
residents are encouraged to take ownership of their apartment by having access to a private garden . Ultimately personal expression through the act of gardening creates a sense of identity and results in beautiful , dynamic , planted façades . The communal facility is an extension of the living areas of each apartment , consisting of interconnected lounges , a restaurant , library , coffee shop and a cinema with different amenities to host a variety of activities .
The estate strives to provide a luxurious hotel or resort experience as a new home where senior residents can enjoy their best quality of life by enjoying a game of golf on their doorstep or a leisurely walk on the various walking routes through the course . The design oscillates between being contemporary , timeless architecture which would remain relevant to the milieu of future residents and providing a variety spatial experiences that create comfortable and inviting spaces to spend time with family and friends .
