Lynemore Care Home

Grantown

Lynemore Care Home is located within the Cairngorms National Park area and as such the design response required to be one of excellent quality. The design proposals comprise four, 10 bedded Small Group Living Units. This creates non-institutional homely environments and means that residents with specific needs can live and be cared for in appropriate accommodation with others of similar needs. Although the care home proposed is characterised by large areas of glazing typical of a modern facility the design approach takes inspiration from the traditional architecture in the area. Grantown on Spey is characterised by stone gable walls with raking parapets, chimney breasts, dressed stone bay windows and dormer windows. All these features are brought into the design proposals for the care home, not as pastiche, but as a modern interpretation of traditional features.
