Fitout at Sycamores Care Home in Wakefield
Monday 26th April 2021
Preview of our latest full interior design, project management and fitout at Sycamores Care Home in Wakefield, a 16 bed new build scheme for Burlington Care.

Having 4 different bedrooms gives new residents choices in bedroom selection and helps people with dementia and failing eyesight to differentiate between rooms more easily. The Living/Dining room opens to a lovely patio area, so we used fresh greens/beige with splashes of gold, to bring the greenery of the garden in. These colours are know to be calming and relaxing.

Branthwaite Care Home in Retford is finished!
Wednesday 4th December 2019
This care home specialises in Dementia care and our brief was to create a bright, warm & welcoming feel to this floor, whilst being 100% dementia friendly. This included Corridors, Lounge, Dining Room, Sensory Room, Tea Room and Music Area. The existing Corridors had limited natural light, due to being an internal 360 degree loop. We wanted to uplift these and create a bright & welcoming set of unique areas, where residents could identify their rooms more easily and create additional seating zones for family & friends. Each individual corridor now has a different feel, with a "Conservatory" area, a "High Street" area and an unused Nurse Station transformed into a "Music Area". We included every design aspect from initial room…

Private garden transformation, from an unloved overgrown space to a low maintenance contemporary design
Tuesday 15th May 2018
The client wanted a low maintenance garden with a modern feel. The existing garden was unloved with a lot of existing paths concealed under the overgrown grass and planting, a rotten asbestos covered dilapidated garage and broken greenhouse. The second half of the garden was never used and it was not being used to its full potential, which due to its south/east aspect enjoyed full sun most of the day. 3 designs were shown and the client decided the circle/geometric design fitted their brief well. 4 of the 5 established trees were kept, to retain a feeling of height.
