The key objective for the end client, Clanwilliam, was to create a facility featuring non-intrusive and thoughtful design which would create a welcoming environment people actually want to move into. There were a number of significant design considerations for the project, particularly accommodating the need to cater for people with different levels of dependency on facility staff. With some residents likely to have extreme and serious medical issues, it was important the space was adapted to suit their requirements. Ensuring there was adequate security and privacy within the facility was also critical in the design, to give residents and their families peace of mind.
