This development at Hoole Road, Chester involves the comprehensive refurbishment, remodelling, and extension of an existing property to create six self-contained one-bedroom assisted living apartments. Designed to provide high-quality, independent accommodation, the scheme transforms an underutilised building into a modern and accessible living environment that supports residents' wellbeing while promoting autonomy.

The proposals carefully balance the retention and enhancement of the existing building with a sensitively designed extension, maximising the site's potential while respecting its context. Each apartment has been designed to meet contemporary accessibility standards, incorporating generous circulation spaces, adaptable layouts and features that support residents with varying levels of mobility and care needs.

The project demonstrates how this existing building can be successfully repurposed to deliver much-needed specialist housing, creating a welcoming and dignified environment that enables residents to live independently while benefiting from appropriate levels of support.
