A care ready scheme offering 45 no. 1-bed and 2-bed apartments for independent living, including four dual-aspect penthouse apartments with private terraces. The dwellings are designed to be bright, cheerful and modern with a domestic style to make them, “homes from home.” A spacious entry experience with foyer creates a lively social hub to encourage community interaction. Bay windows and a sunny secure garden improve connections with the outside world whilst the convenient location with a prominent visual connection to Jarrow Shopping Centre facilitates independent living. The scheme has been designed to free up family housing in the area by enabling older persons to remain living locally. The architectural language comprising pitched roofs, brick and tile is designed for neighbourhood fit and architectural presence to ferry street. Massing complements its one, two and three storey neighbours. Site layout reinforces the existing neighbourhood development pattern by aligning with bordering roads, existing memorial gardens are integrated in to the scheme so that building and landscape work together. All dwellings are fuel-efficient, well-insulated and benefit from a fabric-first approach to reduce heating costs. Currently under construction
