Makins Court Care Home Location: Arlesford Client: Winchester Borough Council & Eastleigh Housing Association Architect: John Thompson & Partners Project Size: £4 million
This project involved a phased development to provide 19 Category 2, one and two bedroom flats in a two-storey building and 11 bungalows, all to life time homes standards with on-site warden facility, arranged around a large landscaped courtyard. A steering group comprising of existing residents, the local GP, councillors and voluntary organisations helped to develop a brief for a new building that would improve the quality of care. The end result was an award winning care home facility which received a commendation for “Best Retirement Development” at the National Homebuilder Design Awards as well as “Development making the most outstanding contribution to the attractiveness of the town” at the Alresford Society Rose Bowl Award. Elementa provided mechanical and electrical design services including heating, hot & cold water, sanitary ventilation, above ground drainage, electrical power, lighting & data, fire alarms and security.

Badby Park Care Home Location: Daventry Client: Chatcombe Park Architect: Acanthus Clews Architects Contractor: Higgins Construction Project Size: ÂŁ4.5 million
Badby Park is a unique, comprehensive facility dedicated to Neurological Illnesses and Disorders providing specialist nursing and rehabilitation in a beautiful parkland estate of 50 acres, minutes away from the town of Daventry in the vicinity of the Northampton metropolitan area. The facilities enable extensive range of rehabilitation, long term care, respite and palliative care for people with neurological illnesses, acquired brain injuries and spinal injuries.

Elmbridge Manor & Arun House Retirement Villages
Location: Surrey Client: Retirement Villages Ltd
Elementa have recently worked on the production of Employers Requirements for Arun House, a new block of 20 self-contained aged-care dwellings at Elmbridge Retirement Village. Elementa were retained on the client’s team for the detailed design and construction stage monitoring of the design and build contractor’s proposals. The building is heated from a communal gas fired plant room (boilers and CHP) which are located in another of the buildings delivered by Elementa – Elmbridge Manor. Elementa were appointed for the design review and construction stage monitoring for this new 3 storey care home facility.
Following successful completion of Elmbridge Manor, the majority of properties on the new site have been sold within 4 months, a credit to the services provided by Elementa on the project.
Elmbridge Village thrives on its community feel, provides residents with communal facilities provided within Elmbridge Manor, including a restaurant, bar, shops and doctor and nurse care consulting rooms. With Arun House, the Client was particular about creating 20 new selfcontained high-end dwellings, while sticking to a strict budget and programme. Communication was key between Elementa, the Client and interior designers to ensure that all services and requirements were deliverd and Client and aspirations met. One of the flats in particular has been designed to a very high specification, including marble bathroom and kitchen worktops, high-end kitchen appliances and a large balcony offering picturesque countryside views.

Cottonwood Lodge Location: Coquitlam, BC Area: 7,000 sq. ft LEED Certification: Targeting Gold Architect: CJP Architects Construction Cost: $4 million
Cottonwood Lodge is a residential care facility that was developed as a prototype for the Fraser Health Authority. As a long-term solution for mental health patients, it enables residents to live more independently. Project goals specified the design of a sustainable facility that would interact with nature and offer improved end-user comfort.
KEY FEATURES LEED NC Gold Certified Radiant heating and cooling 100% outdoor air displacement ventilation Low-flow plumbing fixtures to reduce water consumption by up to 42% 100% purchased Green Power Sustainable building materials Efficient lighting and motion sensors
Integral Group provided mechanical design services for this $4 million project that focused on reaching the design target of LEED Gold. Energy savings were realized through the use of concrete mass and embedding a radiant heating and cooling system in the concrete slab. Displacement ventilation combined with ultra efficient lighting and motion sensors further improved energy savings. Water conservation was achieved through low-flow plumbing fixtures which resulted in reduction of potable water consumption by 42%. Energy efficient strategies resulted in improvement in energy performance of 40%. Additional sustainable strategies included 85% recycling of construction waste materials and selecting locally manufactured materials. Thoughtful building orientation maximized the opportunities for daylighting and access to exterior views. Better indoor environmental quality was achieved through the use of 100% outdoor air supply. Overall, sustainable strategies were combined to successfully minimize harmful environmental impacts while encouraging a healthy living space.

Deltaview Life Enrichment Centre KEY FEATURES Location: Delta, BC Area: 208,000 sq. ft. Architect: Scott Gordon Architect Completion Date: 2006
Vertical ground source heat pumps Radiant floor heating Low-flow plumbing fixtures
As a part of the Deltaview Campus of Care, the Deltaview Life Enrichment Centre is a 212-bed multi-level care facility. Covering 208,000 sq. ft., it is divided into eight living areas that contain 20 beds each. These living spaces are connected by a common area and each contain a central kitchen, TV and piano lounges, activity rooms and cozy dining areas. Integral Group designed the mechanical and electrical systems for this $30 million facility. Mechanical design included six vertical, closed-loop ground-source heat-pumps. These pumps provide the central heating for the building, while local supplemental heating is provided by a radiant heating system embedded in the floor. Water conservation was achieved through low-flow plumbing fixtures while energy efficiency was further enhanced by using double glazed windows. The combination of sustainable conservation strategies resulted in successful qualification for the Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP). The 244 acre Riverview site is home to more than 1,800 unique trees, as well as beautiful natural green spaces. Proactive measures were taken to protect the environment and preserve its beauty. This state-of-the-art facility is an excellent example of delivering effective end-user results while adhering to the fundamental principles of sustainable design.
