This scheme with apartments for sale and rent for the over 65s has replaced a derelict office building in the leafy Surrey village of Cobham. The enlightened client recognises that exemplary design is important to an increasing number among Britain鈥檚 ageing population, and wants to offer well-designed, sophisticated options for those wishing to downsize or move into accommodation more suitable for later living.
Cobham Bowers provides quality accommodation for individuals and couples transitioning from long-term family homes to a more compact and convivial way of life. The architects have arranged its 53 light-filled flats, with generous balconies and windows, in two light grey brick buildings linked by a communal ground-floor space and a peaceful lush walled garden. Each of the blocks is divided by six expressive pitched roofs oriented in different directions, to break up the mass and attune with other village buildings.
