Project Overview
Fingerprintstudios Architects were appointed to prepare drawings for a lapsed planning approval for sheltered accommodation for retirement housing. This housing for support would allow its residents the ability to have independent living with additional on-site support.
Achievement
The development scale and massing and number of units was led by the developers due to the site being a previous petrol station.
The application was successfully submitted for planning with the engagement of environmental consultants, floor risk assessment, verified views, planning consultants and landscape consultants.
The development had to respond to challenging site conditions and being within key flood risk areas, the design had to respond accordingly.
The flats and shared services to support assisted living included, onsite staff facilities, community lounges a community arts room and a communal kitchen and dining areas for group gatherings and was envisaged to hold cooking classes.
This was a challenging site and project and were glad to be apart of the process.
