Over the past decade, we have developed extensive experience in healthcare design. Vida Grange was the first specialist dementia care home we designed for Vida Healthcare, a Harrogate-based provider dedicated to delivering exceptional dementia care.
Completed in 2016, the 124-bed home was developed with a design-led approach from the outset, with the client’s brief centred around creating a state-of-the-art building that could be seen as an exemplar in the field of dementia care.
Externally, the stepped form of the building helps break down the overall scale while creating generous roof terraces for residents, offering safe access to outdoor space, fresh air and views.
The building combines a strong architectural presence with a carefully considered care environment, balancing the practical requirements of a specialist dementia care home with spaces that feel open, connected and supportive.
For Den Architecture, Vida Grange remains a strong example of how architecture can support wellbeing through form, layout and access to outdoor space.
