Thinking Building are delighted to have submitted a planning application for the expansion of a Derbyshire care home. The scheme will provide accommodation for 16 dedicated dementia places in a bespoke designed facility.

The scheme is an extension to an existing care home, but will sit as a separate unit connected to the existing facility with an enclosed connecting corridor. The new building is formed in a horseshoe shape, with bedrooms to the perimeter and a secure courtyard garden and dining social spaces to the centre.

The design is aimed to provide a domestic scale building, using local Derbyshire stone and a slate roof. All rooms are all ensuite and the dining and social spaces face out onto a secure courtyard garden with views out and accessible garden areas.

We’ll keep you updated as the scheme develops.
