Refurbishing Willowmere Care Centre

Hunters has completed the extensive refurbishment of Willowmere Care Centre in Barnet, transforming what was a vacant and severely deteriorated building into a modern, specialist care facility for adults living with neurological conditions, dementia and complex mental health needs. Originally known as Apthorp Care Centre, it closed in 2021 to allow essential fire safety and maintenance works to be undertaken, it remained vacant leaving much of the building in a considerable state of disrepair. Hunters were commissioned to bring life and practicalities back into the building. What has been created is a welcoming, homely and care-focused experience.

With nine placements taking place across the practice in 2026 and consistently positive feedback from students, schools and parents, our growing programme is helping to build confidence, inspire future careers and open doors into the industry.

Placing the Community at the Centre of Church Street

We are leading the architectural design for Church Street Sites B and C in Westminster, where an exceptionally early approach to community involvement is reshaping the design brief and the future outcome of the project. Church Street is one of Westminster’s most diverse and densely populated neighbourhoods, with a strong identity, a long-established market and a community that has lived with the prospect of regeneration for many years. For Hunters, this meant that the design process could not begin with propositions. It had to begin with trust, openness and a willingness to test assumptions before they became fixed.

Collaboration at the Heart of Daleham Gardens Crisis House

Hunters collaborated with North London NHS Foundation Trust to transform the crisis House at Daleham Gardens, sensitively refurbishing part of a three-storey building to better support both residents and staff. Working closely with service users, carers and staff, who all brought valuable lived experience, Hunters ensured that the House’s refurbishment was designed around the needs of the people who would use and work in it every day.

Chelsea Botanica: A New Video Highlighting Affordable Riverside Living

Chelsea Botanica brings together 266 new homes, with 50% affordable housing. Hunters made sure that the design was carbon efficient, installing photo-voltaic roof panels and air source heat pumps.

This short video offers a look at the completed scheme and its location in the heart of London, right on the bank of the Thames.
