This Secure by Design project creates 15 en-suite bedrooms. Each room benefits from its own private terrace with large sliding glazed doors.

Each room has the flexibility to be heated and cooled by fan-coil units so the environment of the resident can be adjusted. 

The central circulation and social space runs down the centre of two-wings, with high ceilings with daylight through continuous roof lighting.

The entrance lobbies are large open spaces, with adjacent fully glazed garden rooms which accommodate a ‘social-hub’ and café.

Low-energy fittings and plant will minimise demand and achieve the required BREEAM ‘Very Good’.

I cannot express the difference you have made to hundreds of patients and their families, providing such high quality fabulous surroundings for them. On a personal note I have really enjoyed working for you and this being my 2nd build I can safely say that you are wonderful team to work with.
