- Brief:
- New build 2 wing Dementia ward extensions and re-modelling of existing Victorian care home. This is an existing care home based in Bolton, which has had two new wings and a relaxing client lounge and garden room added. The project involved a two storey high brick and blockwork construction and the re-modelling of areas of the existing nursing home. The new wings were built with a traditional construction with services that are specifically designed for the end user with disabled facilities a key design feature. Externally there is a comprehensive scheme of ramps and landscaped areas with handrails and hard and soft landscaping to reflect the needs of the end user. The internal modifications of the project include alterations to bedrooms to form new common facilities, structural alterations and minor demolitions to form new kitchen facilities and office. These areas presented great difficulties for Health and Safety consideration as the whole project was carried out whilst the existing care home was fully occupied and fully operational.
