New modern 68 bedroom care home facility in Brentwood for St. Michaels Homes set within the natural landscape setting of the site.
RDT worked collaboratively with the main contractor Horizon Construction (London) and the care home operator, bringing their values for problem solving and attention to detail to deliver a technical architectural solution within the cost constraints of the project whilst ensuring the client’s vision was realised.
RDT were appointed post tender and worked closely with the construction team to rationalise the design of the basement and superstructure design and worked with the client to evolve the initial design of the care home to reflect their current operational requirements. RDT’s expertise using Revit software enabled the reinforced insitu concrete basement, steel frame and traditional construction elements to be fully co-ordinated and developed alongside the mechanical and electrical design. It also enabled the client to make key design decisions within the 3D design environment.
