Strode Park Foundation in Kent have been providing vital care, support services & supported living opportunities for children and adults with a range of disabilities since 1946. Clague Architects were approached to assist the client in establishing a long term masterplan for their facilities including alterations to its 19th century Italianate mansion set in 18 acres of beautiful gardens and construction of a new accommodation and treatment wing.
Because of the nature of the facility, the main concern for Clague’s design team was to create a relaxing and nurturing environment, which was achieved through a proposal that sweeps in an elegant curve around the northern edge of the site.
Each of the bedrooms on the outer, north elevation features a balcony that opens up the room to the exterior through the use of lightweight natural materials. These features, coupled with high ceilings that are open to rafters, plentiful windows and fully glazed doors, allow natural light to flood the individual rooms, creating a serene and beautiful ambiance.
