Lochend Care Home by Gareth Hoskins Architects

Lochend Care Home is the result of a Gareth Hoskins Architects competition win in August 2003 for an exemplar 60 bed residential nursing home in the centre of Edinburgh.

The aim is to create an innovative and sustainable care environment designed on a domestic scale around the needs of elderly people.

The design moves away from the often institutional feel of such buildings and looks beyond the minimum care standards to create spaces that stimulate and engage all those who live and work there.

The whole care home environment is required to be barrier free & dementia friendly and the requirement is that the care home should cater for high dependency needs and minority ethnic groups.

Planning permission was approved on the 1st of August 2005.

The building is still under construction.
