Christies Care

The new building design was constructed as a rectangular two storey structure with a 45˚ roof containing open plan rooms, with individual private rooms alongside ancillary facilities.

Materials were kept to a minimal pallete on the external façade. Acoya timber cladding was used and left to naturally weather complemented by a brick plinth, zinc sheeting and composite windows, coloured with a contrasting grey to the outside including a feature circular window on the South facing gable.

Internally the cross laminated timber frame structure is left unfinished to both walling and ceiling areas and service distribution is via the raised access floor keeping everything hidden and protected.
