Part of the Leigh Place Village

Leigh Place prides itself on our home-like look and feel, and central village streetscape, creating an environment where our residents thrive in a close-knit living community.

Lotus House retains the small household model at its core. Each resident has their own kitchenette, built-in storage, table, and sitting area / nook. Each floor includes a beautiful open plan communal kitchen – where residents, families, and friends can gather around the kitchen bench and make a cup of tea. There are several living and lounging spaces on each level, including large outdoor balconies and communal gardens.

Lotus House is thoughtfully designed to maintain connection with community.

Its park-side location and garden walk, connecting residents to the existing houses, helps to foster and maintain our village-like atmosphere. Inclusion of hands-on gardens, private and group learning spaces, and places for communal activities (such as cooking classes or entertainment) are strategic design elements.

Lotus House is the living embodiment of our commitment to our charitable purpose and values. Care, Compassion, Community and Choice, together with dignity, environment, and quality of life, are integral to the building’s design – built for the Leigh Place community, with deliberate intent to foster engagement.
