Camden
£3m to £4.99M
Developed with PegasusLife, Tibbalds, and Camlins, the vision for the site was to deliver a scheme which supports a range of living accommodation and facilities for the care and well-being of older people, including 60 one and two bed extra care apartments, a health and well-being facility, shared communal facilities including a restaurant and café (which is also open to the wider community), a library, communal lounges and activity rooms. In response to the site constraints and opportunities, a series of repeated blocks (square in plan) was conceived, each one responding to the adjacent conditions in scale, height and position. This sequence of blocks, (ranging from four storeys at its lowest point, to ten storeys at its highest), is finished in a brick skin which modulates in tone and texture as the blocks increase in height, and whilst mediating between the varying mass and topography of the site and city-scape, affords the vast majority of the units a dual aspect and stunning views across London.
