“In order to break with what’s been available previously, we employ architects known for really good housing, and specifically those that have not done housing for older people before. (Belle Vue) by Morris+Company is one of those developments which creates a new market. It is modern and attractive in its own right, and it recognises that the resident is likely to have a need in the future for care but that this is really a lifestyle choice.”
John Nordon, Design Director, Pegasus Life
