About this project
Nestled within the historic Indooroopilly Golf Club in Brisbane, the Somerset Indooroopilly retirement village offers a remarkable selection of 168 exquisitely designed apartments. Spread across four buildings that are five stories high, the development offers a luxurious range of homes from two to four bedroom apartments, available to retirees over the age of 60. The Residents will enjoy community facilities such as library, pool, cellar room, cinema, billiard room and cafe. The Somerset Indooroopilly retirement village offers breathtaking panoramic views of the landscape, providing a vibrant and luxurious lifestyle for residents.

Working with Allegion on this project has been a great experience for our team and a great outcome for the project itself. The team at Allegion made themselves easily contactable throughout the entire construction process and were able to provide swift updates to align with the changes during the construction period.

The challenge
Cox Architecture required hardware that fit the contemporary aesthetic of their design with a specific material pallete to follow. Being a retirement village, the hardware also needed to meet disability and accountability (DDA) requirements. These guidelines heavily influenced the selection of hardware. With a retirement community project consisting of 168 homes, Cox Architecture needed an established hardware supplier to provide support at a large scale with the ability to fulfill all requirements.
Providing a catered solution
Allegion was chosen to supply the project's door hardware due to their extensive range of DDA compliant hardware and accessories. As a leading provider of security solutions, Allegion has established itself as a reliable supplier that creates safe and convenient access for people in assisted living environments. The Allegion team took a consultative approach to understand Cox Architecture's unique requirements and challenges. An example of this was all joinery fixtures and fittings had to be a brushed metal finish. Allegion was able to fulfill this request, providing continuation of the contemporary theme and timeless look throughout the buildings. Since the completion, Cox Architecture has received positive feedback from both the client and residents on the execution and quality of the project.


The team at Allegion had been very helpful during the project's design and construction periods, providing us with the right products and information to meet the project requirements.
