The centre provides spaces to help the Northcott team and their customers enjoy support and learning to achieve their potential in life. We deliberately designed it as a non-institutional ‘big home’. The centre provides respite care, therapy and life skills training, whilst also housing Northcott’s administrative centre for the local area.

It needed to be a budget conscious development, but with no compromise on design. That just meant a bit more thinking and effort on the drawing board to deliver a warm and friendly, functional, yet highly efficient building.

The internal spaces are full of natural light and fresh air, embracing passive energy design.

We’ve future-proofed the design through flexible room layouts, enabling evolution to effectively meet future services needs.
