Welcome to
Wilfred's
Wilfrid’s is a proposal for a new over-55s community in Standish. In response to a growing need for age-appropriate housing in the area, there has become a recognition that much of the new house-building stock is geared towards younger generations with there being a lack of suitable provision for those over 55.
Seeking to respond to this need by creating 11 one and two-bedroom apartments, the thoughtfully and empathetically designed apartment scheme will harness the power of community living and connectedness.
Through social spaces to celebrate events, remote working or garden areas to enjoy an outdoor social meal.
The scheme also incorporates two separate sleepover suites for families and friends visiting from nearby or afar and also the opportunity for a carer to stay the night in close proximity if and when needed.
Millennium has been working with an award-winning landscape architect to create a scheme that positively enhances the biodiversity of the site which will have strong botanical influences.
The design of the scheme has been leant on and influenced by academic-backed design research to ensure that those who live in the community do so with independence to provide a home for life through any physical and cognitive ailments. By ensuring the design has therapeutic benefits, Wilfred’s seeks to harness the power of intelligent architecture and the positive role and impact it has in supporting people to age vibrantly in their later years.
