Grace House
London, UK - Residential
Pioneering accommodation for an ageing population.
Grace House reached out to us as they sought to replace outdated and institutional bedsit accommodation. The aim was to pioneer a new way of living and tackle the issues around the ageing population.
A collaborative approach to shaping design.
Our collaborative approach with residents gave us a canvas to work from. Whether that was specific facilities, landscape architecture, or better building design to make living easier or more comfortable, this integrated way of working made for a better journey and end result.
Placing the end user at the centre of the process.
The existing residents formed a co design team and were involved in the development of design. We placed considerations to support dementia, allowing residents to remain familiar with surroundings as their needs change.
Ryder has captured the essence of our ethos, understanding and appreciating our residents, responding to their needs and realising their vision. The regeneration of Grace House can offer a template for future C&C developments.”
