This project presented the challenge of working within the limits of a protected building dating back to the mid-19th century. We designed a two-storey, 38,000 sq. ft. nursing home to rest in the contoured landscape, while staying faithful to the original Shankill House structure.

Each of the private rooms take advantage of natural light and sea views, where possible. We clustered many of the rooms around landscaped courtyard spaces, designing one of these courtyards as a tranquil sensory garden for residents. All told, the project incorporates 78 bed spaces, along with ample living, dining, and service areas.
