Guardian Care

Location: Trentham, Staffordshire
Client: Guardian Care

In 2010, we obtained planning approval for a 20 bedroom extension to New House in Trentham, providing intermediate care facilities.

The design is clad in render, timber boarding, brickwork and glass with a mix of flat and mono-pitch roofs to articulate the different functions. The accommodation is arranged around a C-shaped plan which links with the existing facilities to form an enclosed external garden courtyard.

The development is on a prominent site adjacent to several attractive period houses. Therefore, particular care was taken to ensure that the scale and massing of the development is appropriate to its context.

The project is due to start on site once funding has been secured.
