Going for Gold and collecting a world record? With our clients, OSJCT, we are leading the way in dementia design, striving for excellence.

The Dementia Centre, part of Stirling University, has awarded us GOLD for The Lakes and GOLD for Goodson Lodge with the highest score ever recorded – 98%.

We care about dementia and we care about design, it’s great to see that being recognised.

Good dementia design is unlikely to hit you when you walk into a care home as it’s not a visual statement, but a way of working through the different solutions to age-related, cognitive impairment.

Our Healthcare Team is celebrating a double win having received planning permission for the refurbishment of the Haematology Clinic in Kingston Hospital and The Froud Centre, a new GP with a community centre in Manor Park, Newham.

Every estate and housing scheme in the country has different needs, different challenges and the people who live there have different experiences to draw upon.

As an architect, it is all too easy to approach the project and “think you know everything about design”. It’s actually about the people who live there and the use of space around them. Those who have the history and experience are the ones who can really help inform and be part of the journey to a fuller and more fruitful design solution.
