The 'Trees' project in Highgate is located within a prominent Conservation Area.
The project proposals are for 40 Extra Care flats for older people, with a mix of one and two beds and associated communal facilities to support the residents and enable them to live independent lives. The concept is to provide an exemplar service in a building of particularly high quality and architectural and interior distinction.
The furniture is of a high standard andwill become a benchmark for future extra care developments. Different colour themes have been used on each floor to help orientation.
The design aims to maximise natural light within the building and offer views of the landscaped gardens.
