Sheltered Housing, Perth
Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust, in partnership with Perth & Kinross Council has commissioned creative arts and design solutions within two Sheltered Housing units in Perth; Carpenter Court and Strathmore Street. Developed using a Dementia friendly design solution, these enhancements to the environments will help make navigation around the buildings easier for the tenants.
Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust commissioned Designer Louise Kirby held consultation workshops with staff and tenants to look at themes and colours that residents responded well too. Louise then devised two different applications, each appropriate to its site, which responded to the preferred theme “outside – inside”. The concept was then to use imagery that was based around the changing seasons and nature and reflected the established colour coding system for each floor of the two sites. A repeat design was introduced over three floors using the same images but with a different colour pathway.
