Bridgehouse Care Home,

Project Overview

Project: Bridgehouse Care Home, Brighouse West Yorkshire
Client: The Fisher Care Group
Status: Completed

The Commission

S+SA were appointed for the provision of architectural services in relation to the design and delivery of a new build 66-bed general care development on a challenging wooded site perched on the side of a valley.  The site had a relatively small developable area, but benefitted from an existing planning consent for a 60-bed care development.

Our Input

Using our in-house Building Information Modelling (BIM) capability, we performed an appraisal of the consented scheme proposals to ascertain whether they met the client’s requirements – with the ultimate conclusion that a new design was required.

Our Value

S+SA were able to secure planning consent for an entirely new 66-bed care development for the client, gaining additional accommodation within the same parameters of the previous scheme, all treated as a variation to the original consent – providing the client with accommodation which met their requirements without the additional time and expense required to negotiate the planning process anew.
