An existing single dwelling house has been completely remodelled to provide supported housing for people with learning difficulties. The result is a six bedroom home, each complete with modern ensuite bathrooms, together with a new large communual lounge and kitchen area. It was a particular requirement of the brief that the project avoid the austere institutional feel of many such developments and provide the charity with somewhere which has the feeling of a real home. Careful selection of the finishes was needed to ensure that while this aim was acheived the requirements for the end users were also met.
