Work has started on a scheme designed by Kent architecture firm jhd Architects to extend Hartley House Care Home in Cranbrook. The scheme will provide additional specialist services for the elderly and dementia sufferers at a time when demand in the county is rising and the supply of places is limited.
Kent, United Kingdom (PRWEB) January 30, 2013
Planning consent has been gained for up to 27 additional single bedrooms, 150m2 of new communal space and improved landscaping. Specifically designed for residents suffering from dementia, each bedroom will exceed the minimum standards suggested by the National Care Standards Commission. Nearly all the new rooms will have en-suite toilets and showers, and many will also have direct access to the courtyard areas. The scheme includes a new reception and cafe area with views of, and access to, the central courtyard.
The new communal space will include two lounges with a mix of small and large spaces which can be used for socialising or relaxing quietly. Large double doors with level thresholds, a hallmark of jhd Architects' approach, will give direct access to two enclosed courtyards which, sheltered from the wind and shaded from the sun, will be easy for staff to supervise and safe for residents to use independently. Raised planters will enable light gardening without bending down, and enclosed seating areas will encourage residents to go outside and socialise with each other, and with staff and visitors. The design also takes advantage of views of the surrounding countryside.
It is hoped the scheme will create up to 10 new jobs for local people looking for full time, part time and shift working jobs. The home also helps to build local skills through its excellent training policies, standards and opportunities.
Owner Stephen Gilmour says: "Enhancing residents' well-being and quality of life is at the centre of the Hartley House extension project. jhd Architects have responded to our brief with a design that is both practical and creative. Now that work has started on site, our top priority is to minimise disruption by carefully managing health and safety issues in conjunction with the needs and daily routines of residents, visitors and staff and the contractors programme of work."
Says Kent architect Tim Ball: "We are proud to be working on Hartley House, which is an important and integral part of the local community, particularly as we know our design will tangibly improve people's lives. Key to success, for all the architectural projects in our portfolio, is attention to the detail of finishes and fittings to ensure that all those using the building not only enjoy it, but can do so safely."
Upgrading the heating systems, improving insulation and choosing low maintenance materials means that the scheme will also reduce energy costs which are typically high in care homes because of the high room temperatures required and large amounts of laundry generated.
Hartley House Care Home is owned by Stephen and Julia Gilmour who are both actively involved in running it. They also own Mayfield Care Home in Sale, Cheshire and Staley House Care Home in Stalybridge.
jhd Architects' extension of Hartley House, Cranbrook will provide much-needed, high quality residential care home accommodation for the elderly and people suffering with dementia. Individuals interested in finding out more about the availability of rooms at Hartley House can call + 44 (0) 1580 713139 or make contact via the website hartleyhouse.co.uk.

KMD Architects Announces Leadership Changes in Mexico City
A Belfast firm of architects is bidding for its third deal in India to counter the effects of the downturn in construction at home.
Hall Black Douglas in the east of the city has already completed work on a shopping mall in India and this week announced a contract to design accommodation for elderly people with dementia near Mumbai.
Now the practice is bidding for work on a large apartment block in India after building up a relationship with a client for over two years.
Director Alistair Beckett was tight-lipped on the value of the work it has done so far in India.
But he said the downturn at home architecture is the profession which has contracted the most in the collapse of the construction market had forced it to look overseas.
Its thought to be the only Northern Ireland architecture firm working in India, a territory it first explored on an Invest NI trade mission, though some have entered the market in the Middle East.
We worked exclusively at home for the first 20 years of the practice, said Mr Beckett.
But then there were diminishing workloads at home, and we saw the opportunity for the Indian market, and its just a market we felt comfortable in. It is based on British law, its English speaking and they respect UK design.
He said the variety of work it had done at home had left it in good shape to benefit from a range of opportunities available in India.
Fortunately we were quite diverse in our portfolio, with health care, churches, community groups and conservation projects.
