Their scheme comprises 10 contemporary houses, designed to incorporate Passiv Haus principles to make the buildings ecologically sound, but also keep homeowner’s running costs down. The property sizes and prices mean that they are affordable to locals, therefore preserving this strong and vibrant village community.

Meads House, Dementia Care Home
This grand, detached villa built at the turn of the 20th Century sits in the heart of the Meads Conservation area and is now a specialist dementia, residential care home accommodating 16 full-time residents.
However the home is in need of updating with the priority being to improve accessibility to the rooms and the garden. Also, funding cuts mean that the home needs to accommodate more residents to secure the long-term viability of the business. All this needs to be achieved while remaining respectful of this historic conservation area.
MAB architects consulted extensively with the Eastbourne and Lewes conservation team throughout the process, with both the Eastbourne Planning committee and Conservation advisory board who deemed the design to be ‘exemplary’.
