Artform Urban provided timeless external lighting design at a newly restored care home from Signature Senior Lifestyle in North West, London.

Background

The complex restoration project combines the Grade II listed 18th Century Hendon Manor with contemporary luxury accommodation and exceptional care. The result creates a homely and familiar surrounding, designed in line with the Gold Standard Framework from Stirling University, which is specifically for those living with memory loss.

The red brick building is steeped in history having been used as an RAF Convalescent Home during WW2 and once housed the England Football Team before their 1966 World Cup win. With this in mind, it was crucial that the restoration was completed to the highest standard and preserved as many original features as possible.

Work undertaken

The high standard is perpetuated throughout the building grounds which include accessible terraces, green spaces, and paths, providing a relaxing and secluded environment for residents to enjoy.

It is here that Artform’s Ashbery lighting range ‘shines’ making the exterior accessible in the dark by providing ambient and inviting light.

Path lights have been placed around the leafy garden along the winding paths - wall-mounted versions stand out against the red building walls.

Tall pole-mounted pedestrian units line the entrance, all working together to complement the environment.

The trio of Ashbery lights brings together advanced LED technology and optics, paying homage to traditional lantern-style lighting.

This interesting and rewarding project has ensured that the best quality of living and comfort is offered to its residents whilst also preserving an important piece of local history.
