PROJECT DETAILS:

This was a new-build Dementia Care Home for the Local Authority, Cumbria County Council.

It consisted of five residential zones over two storeys and three blocks, with a central hub area including café and other amenities such as a hairdresser’s and a prayer room.

Each zone was to be identified using coded colours to doors and feature walls. This design was influenced by dementia-friendly care standards for natural ventilation and good day lighting.

Each bedroom had Tektura Wallcovering applied to one feature wall, to promote a homely environment for residents. Painted Feature Walls were included in seating areas and circulation spaces.

The successfully-completed project in Carlisle was quickly followed with an identical scheme located in Whitehaven which we were also asked to complete.
