The Rees foundation, who own Tyre Hill House, commissioned ONE’s M&E engineers to help transform this luxury family home into a specialist family assessment centre, that will provide help, support and assessment for mothers and their babies.
The building was divided into bedded accommodation with a total of 8 apartments for the new centre, while being sympathetic to the original features.
Keeping the environment safe and supportive to the needs of the families was vital. ONE’s knowledge of secure environments ensured the design solution included the appropriate level of security with CCTV integrated throughout the building while maintaining a warm, homely environment for the residents.
The brief was to reuse as much as possible and replace only where completely necessary with elements of the M&E plant reused and the capital boiler plant was recycled.
A Sensory room was designed for children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). The team worked with specialist sensory technology, to facilitate their equipment and to suit the needs of all individuals using the facilities. A play room and an open plan kitchen was also included alongside the apartments.
Our clients benefit from our knowledge across sectors. For this project our experience of secure environments was vital while providing a warm, welcoming and supportive environment.
ONE's engineers provide fully complaint solutions, using sustainable technology reusing plant wherever possible.
