The new Lakeside care home is located on an important site on the Rue de La Commune, marking the main approach into St Peter, Jersey. This location provided an exciting opportunity to create a significant landmark building of the highest quality. The design is an understated classical building with considered detailing and careful proportioning. The long main façade and is set back from the road, allowing for a formal, central approach under the main pediment and porte-cochere. Two stepped pavilions flank the entrance, each with central rooftop lanterns and double height loggias overlooking the surrounding landscape. The simple palette of materials, including lime stucco and cast stone for dressings and mouldings, is in keeping with the existing traditional buildings of the area.
