Arran View Care Home
Arran View Care Home, situated in the coastal town of Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, is a facility originally constructed in the 1990s, comprising four individual units. These units were designed to support residents requiring nursing and dementia care, as well as younger adults with mental health issues and learning disabilities. The project was initiated by our client, who requested the development of plans to remodel Lochranza House- an unused block within the care home. The first stage of the project involves the redesign and enhancement of the existing bedrooms to accomodate en suite bathrooms, while the second phase will provide a 175m² extension, which will include a new fitness suite for residents, further enhancing the care home’s amenities.
The design focuses on dividing the remodelled footprint into three distinct sections, each tailored to address the specific rehabilitation needs of adults with both physical and mental conditions. This arrangement aims to facilitate their transition back to independent living. The project also emphasizes updating the facility to meet current care and technical standards while significantly improving energy efficiency.
