The client brief was for the redevelopment and conversion of an existing office building into an elderly care facility specialising in dementia (C2 Use Class). Most of the existing building envelope and structure was to be retained.
Despite limitations on changing the building’s exterior, the interior offers functional and successful spaces. These spaces are also recognisable at a multi-sensory level. Adaptability, accessibility, and safety are central to the design. The goal is to create a barrier-free environment with ample natural light, essential for well-being.
Within the constraints of the existing site, Marchese Partners | Life3A have created a safe place where residents can enjoy a dignified life in an environment that will encourage social interaction and peace of mind.
