Tailored care home design
Shaping the well-being and quality of life for residents
As with all of our healthcare design work, we bring a considered person-centred approach to care home design, understanding that thoughtful and purposeful design can significantly impact the physical and emotional health of individuals residing in care home facilities.
A well-designed residential care home considers not only the functional aspects of medical care but also incorporates elements to promote comfort, safety and a sense of belonging. Adequate space planning, accessibility, and attention to the unique needs of elderly or medically fragile individuals, forms a critical component to our design workflows as well as a drive for creating environments that are aesthetically pleasing, with good care home interior design such as ample natural light, soothing colours, well-designed communal spaces, and co-ordination of landscaping environments.
With experience in design for retirement living, our Design Manager, Ed Dromgool, has cultivated expertise across the UK, Australia and New Zealand in architecture and design management, demonstrating proficiency in overseeing complex projects from feasibility to planning applications, gaining approvals and detail designs.
