The design of the village draws upon principles from the research undertaken by the Dementia Services Development Centre at Stirling University and the UK Government’s HAPPI report. The scheme, laid out over four floors of accommodation is designed as a perimeter block, wrapping around the junction of two roads and extending southeast to incorporate the site of a former public house and the adjoining residential terraces. A diverse palette of materials is presented; the façade of the care village creates a canvas where these are brought together, tying context together.
