Wider Project

This building forms part one of a three-part project. The wider scheme includes the creation of a new sensory garden on previously unused land beside the building.

Residents will have the opportunity to help maintain the garden by planting trees and flowers.

Project Delivery

JHA Architecture's role covered both design and project management, coordinating the delivery of the new sensory and staffing accommodation as the first phase of the wider project.
