Nursing Home - Dunmurry
The Nursing Home at Dunmurry is the second project undertaken by ADP for the Primecare Group and again also includes a replacement church as part of the overall development.
Design
This site was the former location of the original St. Hildas church and is a sloping site, falling away from the main approach direction. The plan form chosen, a basic y shape, allows the placing of the new church so as to create a new focal point for the development. The home extends over three floors with the main residential accommodation on the ground and first floor level. The roof is a mansard style over the bedroom accommodation wings, and a full pitch and hipped roof over the link and entrance areas.
