Remodelling and extending an existing nursing home catering for physically disabled people. The home was originally an Edwardian mansion and is located in a Conservation Area on cliffs overlooking the English Channel. Over its 50 years of use as a nursing home, various extensions had been built onto the original house. Unwanted accretions were removed. <\/p>\n
The remaining building of approximately 2400sq m was completely refurbished. Bedrooms were remodelled with the addition of en-suite shower rooms. The original decorative features in the Edwardian mansion were renovated. A new four-storey eastern wing and a replacement two-storey western wing provide additional bedroom suites, offices, dining room and kitchen, and a sunroom and sun terrace. <\/p>\n
The new accommodation takes advantage of the southerly aspect and sea views. Floor levels of the new wings align with those in the existing mansion, allowing a tall piano nobile<\/em> on the east wing which accommodates the dining room, with its room-height, full-width screen windows for panoramic views out to sea. Detailing and materials are in keeping with the original house. <\/p>\n The building programme was divided into five phases to allow for 75% occupation throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Remodelling and extending an existing nursing home catering for physically disabled people.
