Exemplar Care Home Visit
30/07/2024
Cheten and Stephen of RDT Architects were delighted to visit the new Central Beds Council care scheme in Leighton Buzzard, along with Herts County Council and Ashden Project Managers.
A big thank you to Farrans, the main contractor, for the insightful tour of this modern 63-bedroom development located on the site of the old police station.
Sustainability: Marigold House is built to Passivhaus standards, making it one of the most sustainable and energy-efficient homes. It boasts improved air quality and thermal comfort for the benefit of residents, staff, and visitors.
RDT and the project team are planning to visit several exemplar care homes to:
• Observe Best Practices
• Benchmark and Improve Their Own Practices
• Inspire Innovation Through Creative Solutions
These visits will ensure the future development of care homes within Hertfordshire, promoting effective, user-centric designs and solutions in healthcare.
