The City of Edinburgh Council commissioned an exemplar timber framed 60 bed care home and day centre, designed on sustainable principles and ‘secured by design’ in line with the city plan for older people “A City for All Ages”. The building has a ‘street’ providing service areas, and three wings that accommodate domestic scale 4 or 6 bedroom units, orientated to maximise the views and sunlight. The construction materials were chosen for consideration of U-values and future recycling. A biomass boiler provides heating and natural ventilation has been incorporated into the design.
Exemplar new build residential car home of 60 beds and day care facility for City of Edinburgh Council. £6M
