Best residential care housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LONDON: The shortlist for the best residential care housing design has been declared.
Over 250 programmes have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Construction has started on a luxury Fife care home that will have its own cinema and hair salon.
The Dalgety Bay development will have 68 en suite bedrooms, dining rooms and private gardens.
Located at Harbour Way, just north of the popular town centre, the vision is to create an environment for over 65s that is a “home from home”.
It will also have specialist, 24/7 residential, nursing and dementia care services.
The three-storey development is designed by Holmes Miller and construction is set to last just over one year.
The former car showroom on the site has been demolished and the site cleared – now the building work can begin.
The project will generate construction jobs and permanent employment for 100 full and part-time care staff.
The project is being led by care home developer Morrison Community Care and the Glasgow-based contractor, CCG (Scotland).
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
