Introduction

Stanton Dahl Architects partnered with Cerebral Palsy Alliance to design a specialist group home that provides a safe, comfortable, and empowering living environment for residents with complex needs.

This project goes beyond functionality, creating a welcoming and thoughtfully designed home that supports independent living, social connection, and individual wellbeing. It is a testament to collaborative, human-centred design, where every detail has been carefully considered to ensure that residents feel at home, valued, and supported in their daily lives.

Description

The home is designed with accessibility at its core, ensuring that every space is easy to navigate for residents and carers alike. Wide doorways, seamless transitions, and assistive technologies have been incorporated to maximise mobility and independence. Open-plan communal areas encourage social interaction, while private bedrooms and quiet retreat spaces allow residents to enjoy solitude when needed. The integration of natural light, ventilation, and landscaped outdoor spaces contributes to a calming and restorative atmosphere.

In addition to residential spaces, the home includes highly functional staff areas, ensuring that carers have the resources they need to provide round-the-clock support in a way that feels discreet and unobtrusive.
