Proctor and Matthews Architects
Work has begun on site for Proctor and Matthews Architects’ retirement care village in Tetbury, Gloucestershire for Pegasus Life. The scheme comprises 114 Extra Care units on a brownfield site on the edge of the Cotswolds market town, alongside a range of communal and care facilities. The layout of the development is informed by Cotswold farmsteads and almshouses, with a series of open courtyards around which buildings are clustered on a comfortable domestic scale. This courtyard model, which Proctor and Matthews have successfully applied elsewhere including at the RIBA Award-winning Hargood Close in Colchester, seeks to provide elderly residents with a sense of identity and security, and encourage the establishment of small community groupings within the wider framework of the care village.
