Instead of a hospital-like structure, Brandt’s Creek Mews consists of several smaller, self contained “neighbourhoods” of care connected by a “Main Street” featuring amenities including hair salon, general store, café, library and technology centre. Administrative and support space is de-emphasized throughout the project while homelike features are prominent. There is a logical progression from public to semi-public to semi-private to private space throughout the residence, creating a feel of “home” for clients.
