The development site is slightly unusual in that it occupies a parcel of land between a business park and residential development, and also adjacent to a listed former aircraft hangar that has been converted into a fitness centre.
The surrounding buildings are all a contemporary design with flat roofs and a varied material palette. The care home needed to be designed to sit comfortably within this context of a large scale-built form with clean precise lines. Despite its size, the internal layout was designed so that individual communities could be accommodated, with each floor level enjoying a stand-alone suite of bedrooms and communal areas.
