Hawkhead Road, Paisley

Hawkhead Road is a stunning mixed-use development comprising of a veteran’s day centre and care home in Paisley.

Located just outside of Paisley town centre, the project comprises a new activity and support centre that was delivered in tandem with a 54-room care home on behalf of Sight Scotland.

The day centre provides a wide range of facilities to aid the charity in their work whilst offering amenities for visitors including a sports hall, gymnasium, art room, wood workshop, kitchen skills room, IT skills room and a large dining area which forms the social hub and heart of the building.

The design of the centre is inspired by the placename ‘Hawkhead’, the area of Paisley in which it is situated. This led to the key design move of envisaging the roof of the centre like a sweeping wing which shelters all of the activity and people below. This roof, which is lined in timber, has five large triangular rooflights set within it which provide light and interest to the central dining and gathering area. Every key room in the building has a visual connection to this sweeping roof and to the central gathering area, engendering a feeling of community and connection to a wider whole,

The Jennywells care home is located to the north of the site and has been built to maximise the benefit of the surrounding woodland to residents which is represented by a private, sensory garden located at its centre. Designed to be a ‘home-from-home, the specialist facility reaches two storeys and is spread across three inter-connected pavilions. The facility provides full, 24/7 private and nursing care services.
