James Paul Associates has brought forward its plans for the facility on Fairmuir Road on behalf of Balhousie Care Group.

Two sheltered internal courtyards are included in the plan, encouraging socialisation between residents while also affording a degree of privacy from the neighbouring commercial and residential neighbourhoods.

In a statement the architects said: “Whilst the site demonstrates a diverse mix of different materials, and indeed building typologies, the proposals here employ a sparse palette of high-quality materials and simple ordering in an attempt to provide a contemporary, unified element. The aim has been to develop a modern and contextually respectful development that seeks to both integrate within the existing area, and robustly reinstate the current void in the Fairmuir streetscape.”
