Designing Meaningful Environments For Later Life Living

With over two decades of specialist experience in the care sector, our aim is to create homes that feel safe, dignified and uplifting, that place the wellbeing of residents, staff and families at their core. We understand the challenges involved in designing for later life, differing disabilities and health conditions - from creating accessible layouts to fostering a sense of familiarity, comfort and independence.

Our trusted team understands the unique regulatory, operational and emotional demands of these environments, allowing for sensitive design within a wide variety of care settings, including nursing and dementia care to assisted and independent living. We balance regulatory demands and the human needs of residents, creating the best possible environment and enhancing wellbeing for residents, families and staff.

Many of our projects involve working with charitable organisations, housing associations and private operators to deliver new-build and refurbished care homes that respond to evolving standards, clinical needs and emotional wellbeing. This often includes integrating dementia-friendly design principles and community-facing spaces that encourage connection and activity.

Through every commission, we engage closely with stakeholders to ensure our designs support their long-term care strategies, regulatory compliance and the highest quality of life for residents.

Post the presentation I showed them all of the samples, they were absolutely blown away with what we are doing and the timescale in which we have pulled this stuff together. Massive thanks from me, and please pass my thanks on to the partners involved.”
