BALLYCOPELAND CARE VILLAGE : MILLISLE, IRELAND

Client : Belfast Central Mission

 

DLA FreemanWhite were invited to submit proposals for a full site

concept design

for a comprehensive retirement care village near Millisle in County Down on behalf of Belfast Central Mission. Upon completion the scheme will offer a

60 bed nursing

and

residential dementia

(EMI) care home as well as

60 extra care apartments

and associated social and leisure facilities on a 6 acre site by the coast.

The design took its

inspiration

from the site’s

beautiful location

being situated between the Irish Sea and the green hills of the Ard’s peninsula as well as the

natural

shape of the land created by this

environment

.

As this project was the start of the

redevelopment

for the whole site, it was important for the proposal to reflect the natural beauty of its setting to provide as

sense of location

as well as a

safe

and

secure

place to live.
