The project in detail.
A home within the neighbourhood
This shows adapting a typical Birmingham house around the everyday needs of children and their carers. The emphasis is on retaining a familiar residential character, with an ordinary entrance, restrained landscaping and a welcoming arrival.
Making the existing layout work
The design brief considers a shared kitchen and dining space, a separate lounge and a quieter room for study or time away from communal activity. Private bedrooms and practical staff facilities would be developed around an agreed care model and a measured survey.
