The Hillcrest Lodge, situated on a spacious 1.88-acre plot, has been extensively renovated and expanded to meet contemporary standards for senior living. Our objective, in collaboration with JMAA Architects Ltd., was to merge practicality, comfort, and modern design elements to improve the quality of life for Hillcrest’s cherished residents.

The initial phase involved the meticulous introduction of 45 modernized rooms, each bearing in mind the distinct requirements and comfort of senior residents. As the project progressed, we seamlessly incorporated an additional 25 rooms, enhancing the lodge’s overall capacity while maintaining design continuity and spatial harmony.

Central to the renovation was the development of communal spaces, including a spacious dining area, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and multipurpose activity rooms. These additions not only elevate the aesthetic quotient but also foster community interaction, enhancing the daily life quality of each resident. Furthermore, accessibility features have been integrated throughout, ensuring a safe and convenient environment for all occupants.

Hillcrest Lodge epitomizes our commitment to superior project execution and our deep understanding of senior living requirements. This venture has substantially enhanced the resident experience, fostering a stronger sense of community and belonging in Barrhead’s heart.
