Care Homes B & C are two new 20-bed care homes for the National Society for Epilepsy (NSE) at Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire. They are part of a wider programme to renew buildings within the heart of the NSE’s site and replace existing accommodation that is below new minimum standards promulgated by the Care Standards Act 2000.
Each building is 2-storey with 5-bed flats in two residential wings grouped around a central admin core which is lower in height than the wings and therefore allows the wings to be perceived as separate 'pavilions' which individually are sympathetic to and in keeping with the domestic villa-like buildings found throughout the NSE site.
Within each flat individual bedrooms have an en-suite and walk-in store and residents share a living room and kitchen dining room in addition to an assisted bathroom and office/nurse base. Architecturally the two buildings are different but both share the common architectural language set particularly by the listed buildings on the NSE site. External walls are brickwork with tile hanging and render on the first floor. Walls within gabled ends are either tile hung, half timbered or treated as a raised rendered triangular panel. Windows and doors are painted timber. All roofs are hipped with gables; the roofs on the main parts of the buildings are double pitched with the south and west facing pitches of the valleys so formed used for solar thermal panels where they will be well screened from the ground.
