West Wood Care Home

Written by Miraj Patel Architect

We were appointed as Lead Designer, providing full architectural services including design development, planning and technical delivery, on a new-build Care Home for client Care Build and operator Avery.

The care home is located in a coastal setting and encompasses 72 beds with en-suite facilities, specialist dementia care, staff accommodation, spacious lounge / dining areas, hairdressers, library, therapy suite, cinema and pub.

The building is surrounded by engaging landscaped gardens with links to outdoor space integrated throughout the plan, maximising internal/external connection for residents, and providing superb sea views. The design and finish of the building has been performed with the focus on creating a luxurious pleasant environment for the guests whilst also encompassing practical considerations of the operator.

The design was carefully developed alongside the adjacent housing estate, to create a scheme which compliments both the environment and local building vernacular and emerging development. The choice of materials, with a compositional mix of both traditional and modern, combines flint, brickwork and cedral cladding. This crisp implementation allows the building to be defined and have its own identity whilst also sit comfortably in its surroundings.
