Tracey House Care Home, Bovey Tracey

Tracey House is a residential care home set within mature landscaped grounds in Bovey Tracey, Devon. The project brings together sensitive refurbishment and modest extensions to improve accommodation, accessibility and connections between the existing buildings. The design makes better use of underused spaces, introducing additional ensuite bedrooms and more generous communal areas. Carefully positioned additions respect the character of the home while adapting it to meet the needs of residents

A home shaped around residents
Comfort, privacy and dignity guide the design. Ensuite bedrooms provide personal space, while welcoming communal rooms offer opportunities for dining, activities and time with family and friends. A choice of shared and quieter spaces supports different routines and preferences.

Clearer routes, passenger lifts and ramps improve connections between the wings and accommodate changes in level. Separating resident circulation from kitchen and service areas creates a more comfortable environment and helps staff manage daily care.
Making the most of its setting
The design works with the existing building, using internal alterations, modest infill extensions and new links to bring the complex together. Enclosing an undercroft creates additional communal space, while materials and roof forms respond to the established architecture.

The landscaped grounds are an important part of life at Tracey House. Private terraces and a shared outdoor dining deck strengthen connections with the gardens, creating opportunities for fresh air, social contact and quiet moments outdoors.
