The project includes the redevelopment of an existing care home site to provide a 77 bed care home and 41 extracare apartments in three separate buildings. The buildings will be situated in the heart of Hextable Village and provides an opportunity to revitalise the site and provide a modern purpose built facility.
The buildings are three to four storey’s constructed of a timber frame in order to minimise the structural load and provide a lightweight solution, yet reduce construction time. The buildings are clad in brickwork and are supported on a series of mass concrete strip foundations in the underlying chalk strata to safely transfer the loading into the ground.
The care home incorporates a retaining wall partway along the ground floor to help the building sit within the sloping site.
