The project revolved around the replacement of the existing care home facility with the construction of two luxurious residential buildings, comprising nine independent houses up to four stories. It involved both demolition and new construction, allowing the modernization and upgrading of the existing infrastructure. The updated design introduces contemporary elements, more connection with the surrounding area elevating the standard of living for the residents.

My involvement commenced during the third stage of the project, following the grated approval of the planning application. I assumed the responsibility of meticulously ensuring the fulfillment of conditions tied to the construction and finalization of the buildings. This included preparing comprehensive construction drawings and orchestrating seamless coordination among diverse consultants and on-site teams.

In the early phases, a notable challenge surfaced concerning the non-compliance of internal layouts with building regulations. Through a process of strategic spatial reconfiguration, I successfully redesigned the space to ensure compliance with fire regulations while concurrently creating interiors that were more open, functional, and efficient by minimizing circulation area wastage. Additionally, I expanded the lower-level basement to optimize its utility. These enhancements were endorsed through the approval of building control drawings.

The new buildings are now in use and perfectly integrated with the surrounding area, resulting in a cohesive and harmonious environment. The significant increase in square footage has considerably enhanced the land’s overall quality and value, amplifying its desirability and attractiveness.
