Housing For Vulnerable Populations
Tim Townshend
During the 2020s a point will be reached where 25% of the UK’s population is 65 or over. However people are not simply living longer,
but living more active lives into older age. There is a huge challenge to meet the needs and aspirations of these active ‘third agers’. Working
with Armstrong House an independent charity providing ‘independent living with support‘, in the village of Bamburgh, Northumberland
explored the complexities of providing a safe, stimulating and desirable home for older people in the existing setting of a listed building.
