Expertise

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.
