Kingfield Mews – Sheffield

Pathways Care

Sheffield

Bowman Riley designed the conversion of an existing care home into accommodation for adults with learning difficulties, autism, and mental health issues with challenging behaviour for Pathways Care, a leading provider of specialist residential care, education, assessment, and support services.

Our brief was to design a state-of-the-art development that combines bespoke design with assistive technology. The aim of Kingfield Mews is to increase the independence of the people living there in a person-centred way that meets their individual needs.

The existing care home is a 19th-century building with 1970s -1980s extensions. Our proposals involve converting the original house into a shared home for four residents and four carers, with office and communal spaces designed specifically to meet the residents’ needs.

The 20th-century extensions will be converted into six two-bedroom apartments for people with 24/7 caring needs. One bedroom is for the resident, and the second bedroom is for their carer. The use of advanced technology will enable residents who need their own space to be allowed that space safely, with the opportunity for constant monitoring in the living areas.

To be delivered within a six-month challenging programme, we are producing our designs simultaneously with the contractor working on site, completing demolition and enabling works. We liaised closely with the fire and acoustic consultants, building control and quantity surveyors.
