Show more "Midlothian Council commissioned Collective Architecture to develop design proposals for a Day Care Centre, an Intermediate Care Facility, and Extra Care Housing on the site formally occupied by the Dundas Buildings and St Mary’s RC Primary School at Polton Street, Bonnyrigg.Extra Care Housing offers an alternative to residential care, for frailer older people or those diagnosed with a variety of degenerative conditions with varying levels of care and support provided on site. Care can be delivered in an ordinary life setting which fosters independence, choice and control for residents. The extra care housing development provides 46 flats in addition to communal space and staff / support facilities.
A choice of external spaces is proposed, with a large garden to the rear and south facing terraces to upper floors. The building is a simple three storey L-shaped form, giving a residential frontage to Moorfoot View and visibility from Polton Street, to help tie the three buildings on the site together as complementary and interconnected. The main entrances to all three buildings are from a shared car park area, accessed from Moorfoot View or a pedestrian route from Polton Street." Show less
