Seniors housing developers compete for Global Award

trophy NEW YORK: The two hundred and twenty-first entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.

Architype has won planning for a £9.8 million extra-care housing project in Exeter.

The 4,200 square metre scheme for Exeter Council includes 53 one and two bedroom flats designed specifically for the over 60s.

According to the practice, the extra-care housing ‘offers the freedom to live independently in self-contained apartments by providing a “home-for-life” with varying levels of care and support as and when residents need it’.

The five-storey Passivhaus development will include lounges, dining rooms with roof terraces, hobby spaces, a salon and spa treatment rooms.

The scheme is expected to start on site in September…
