Rayner Davies Architects have recently secured planning permission for a 40-bed residential care home on a site opposite Woodthorpe Grange Park in Nottingham.
The existing property had previously become run down following a series of unsympathetic extensions so the decision was made to demolish the property and build a new state-of-the-art care facility.
The biggest design challenge was to ensure that this commercial development maintained a contemporary style to meet the client’s brief whilst also complementing the scale and traditional architecture of its domestic neighbours.
The orientation of the new building and placement of roof terraces and gardens to the rear will provide residents with “fantastic” views to the north of the city from the site’s heightened position.
Work is expected to start on site next year.
