The Complex

Situated in the slow pace of Pollok Country Park, along the banks of the White Cart Water, the Stables Courtyard Complex will become a Caring Home for the elderly.

Utilising the site and its context is a key facet of enhancing inhabitant well-being. Emphasising the therapeutic qualities of the historic buildings and natural surroundings aims to provide a reassuring and stimulating environment. The relationship between interior and exterior is fundamental to the Caring Home, therefore, the atmosphere of site forms a central contribution towards the inhabitant experience.

Valuing the autonomy of residents, the Complex supports individual desires for human connections and sensory stimulation through a range of well-being enhancing activities. All spaces are accessible, inclusive of health and mobility needs.

The domestic scale of the village-like cluster enables secure private accommodation and communal areas for residents and loved ones, while creating social opportunities by integrating with the multi-age public.
