The Company secured funding from the Department of Health and the London Borough of Enfield for the Skinners Court development, which ISG Jackson built following the demolition of a former 1970s almshouse that originally occupied the site.
Skinners Court has been tailored to the specific needs and requirements of its residents, providing flexible and intelligently designed accommodation that promotes independent living within a supportive infrastructure.
The building brings a comprehensive range of facilities under one roof, with an interior designer tasked with creating a familiar street scene for the in-house grocery store, hairdressing and beauty salon and health suite.
With characteristics that purposefully hint at the past to provide familiar and unthreatening surroundings, Skinners Court also embraces modern design philosophy with large, naturally lighted open spaces throughout the communal areas.
An airy entrance portico leads into a lozenge shaped lounge area, with a large restaurant and a high specification cinema and cafe bar.
An activity room provides residents with the creative space for a full range of art and craft pastimes.
Other facilities include a library, gym, communal laundry and buggy store.
Phillip Allerton, director of ISG Jackson's Living division, commented: "The ExtraCare model continues to prove a highly effective and flexible accommodation solution that provides progressive levels of support for residents as and when they might require it".
"ISG Jackson continues to operate at the forefront of this emerging and highly important sector, with a wealth of experience successfully delivering award winning ExtraCare facilities through a specialised team that works closely with clients to develop innovative and leading edge building solutions.".
