Learn how our cavity sliders played a crucial role in this large-scale residential development for Amberfield Retirement Village, optimising space, accessibility, and contributing to the modern aesthetic.
Accessible Cavity Sliders in Retirement Villages
Location: Yarralumla, Canberra, ACT
Project Size: 52 villas
Builder: Elevated Living
Principal Architect: Rothelowman White
Photography: supplied by CS Cavity Sliders and LDK Amberfield Village
Introduction
CS Cavity Sliders collaborated with renowned architecture firm Rothelowman White to create a seamless and accessible senior living environment for the upscale Amberfield Retirement Village. The Rothelowman White design team selected CS Cavity Sliders for our reputation in delivering “high-quality” and “customisable products” to bring this specialised residence to life.
The Approach
Accessible Door Systems
With various custom accessibility configurations, cavity sliders offer an accessible and easy to use solution for senior living environments
Space Optimisation
Many of the retirement villas showcase 1.7-metre openings throughout the living spaces that need to be closed and opened without encroaching on the available space.
The project management team opted for the CS OverTakingDoors to maximise living space and ensures seamless integration with the existing floor plan
Match the Modern Aesthetic
Each villa was designed with a modern aesthetic.
By utilising the CS SquareStop with a full-height design and no closing jamb detail, the team was able to match the living space’s sleek and contemporary appearance
The Results
Effective Installation and Resource Management
The customised CS SquareFormed Cavity Slider made finishing on-site quicker, neater, and stronger than other methods. The reduced installation time also resulted in labour and resource savings.
Safety and Accessibility Assurance
The cavity slider units were designed and installed with the senior residents' safety and ease of use in mind.
The CS OverTakingDoors telescoping door system does not use floor guides, which removes all tripping hazards and ensures a seamless design.
Over 400 Cavity Sliding Units Supplied
The CS Cavity Sliders team supplied over 400 cavity sliding units through smooth communication and product expertise.
Conclusion
The Amberfield project in Yarralumla showcases how thoughtful architectural design and the strategic selection of construction materials can meet the specific needs of a retirement living community.
CS Cavity Slider products played a crucial role in this large-scale residential development, optimizing space and contributing to the modern aesthetic. The project was further enhanced by CS Cavity Sliders’ dedicated support team, ensuring seamless communication throughout the process.
CS Cavity Sliders’ commitment to high-quality materials and construction perfectly aligns with the project's aesthetic and functional goal to enhance the quality of life for its residents.

Overtaking Doors
CS OvertakingDoors have an extra-thick cavity pocket, enabling a series of doors (up to five) to stack side-by-side inside the cavity pocket. These units make great room dividers, and because the width of the pocket can be minimised, the potential size of the door opening can be maximised.

SquareStop
SquareStop is a unique jamb detail that lets you finish the wall with no visible jamb liner. The CS SquareStop Split Jamb is designed to make installation quicker, easier, neater, and stronger.
