Care Village, Suffolk

Here are some early renders of our Care village concept utilising a disused quarry in Suffolk. Our proposal will incoporate integrated health & social care services for 100+ residents which promotes independent & community living, centered around those requiring extra care/assisted living through a variety of house and apartment types.

The mass of the building is broken down into a series of curves wings, which meander through existing woodland. Those requiring the most care are discretely located above the specialist support facilities they need. Those who are more independent will have their own apartments with views and woodland walks. A dementia care unit offers a curated series of walks through rooftop gardens, whilst ensuring that necessary safeguarding and safety measures are maintained, whilst being mindful to avoid long ‘institutional’ and unwelcoming corridors.

The layout of the development is designed to work with the landscape, using similar sustainable materials to further promoting a strong connection with nature and high levels of daylighting.
