Within the Landscape
The redevelopment of Downlands Park will create a new later living campus on the six-acre site in Haywards Heath, Sussex. The site currently accommodates a Victorian care home facility set within parkland grounds. The proposed development includes both cottages and apartments. The dwellings are arranged to maintain the open parkland setting and enhance the site with a number of cascading planted terraces.
At the centre of the scheme is a community hub building which will provide health and wellbeing facilities including a pool, spa, fitness suite and wellbeing rooms. These facilities will be accessible to residents as well as providing age exclusive memberships for local residents in the wider community. Residents and members will also have access to the lounge, bistro and dining room.
This project was undertaken with Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt in 2020
