Steepleton is a later living community situated in the Tetbury, in the Cotswolds district of Gloucestershire. Comprising of 113 later living one and two bed apartments, a key design objective of Steepleton was to establish a supportive community and combat loneliness among residents through fostering neighbourly interactions.
At the centre of the development is a village hall, which includes a residents’ lounge and restaurant, activity space, a spa, and therapy provision. These facilities, alongside the café and communal library are available to use by the wider public, ensuring that Steepleton integrates into Tetbury and becomes a valuable space for people of all ages. The project won a HAPPI Award at the 2015 Housing Design Awards.
Steepleton featured in A Home for the Ages: Planning for the Future with Age-Friendly Design. Read the full report.
