With over 35 years' experience, McCarthy & Stone has become Britain's leading provider of retirement apartments.
Its developments offer the independence of retaining home ownership, while the apartments are specifically designed for later life.
Facilities include a shared lounge, guest suite, laundry room and a lift, while a dedicated house manager ensures the smooth running of the development. A security entrance system plus 24-hour emergency call points provide peace of mind for both residents and their families.
To help ensure that McCarthy & Stone remains at the forefront of its industry, it is inviting Bristol architects to come up with ideas.
The British Open Design Competition is run in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
Competitors are tasked with producing "exciting and innovative new designs which will meet the demands of those aged over 55 who are looking for something a little different in later life".
But architects will have to move fast since the date for registration is January 22, with final designs to be submitted before January 29.
Shane Paull, Regional Managing Director from McCarthy & Stone, explained: "This competition will demand that design professionals challenge their pre-conceptions of what age means and create solutions which celebrate the wisdom and freedom that the aging process should encompass.
"It is a great opportunity for us to break boundaries for the housing sector and we would urge interested architects to act now, so not to miss out on their chance to play their part in the re-imagining of our industry."
