Engaged + Enthusiastic

We have built our business on a simple and passionately held belief that by focusing the outstanding architectural and technical skills of our team exclusively on the creation of the highest-quality integrated retirement communities, supported living and care accommodation in the UK, we can help residents and carers to live their best possible lives. We exist to design environments that are exceptional in both form and function, crafted with passion and attention to even the very smallest of details.

Our team has successfully delivered a wide spectrum of projects within the sector, including residential care and nursing homes, retirement communities, assisted living apartments, cottages and retirement villages, extra care housing, design for dementia, day care centres, elderly living, refurbishment and extensions, learning disability homes, crematoria and healthcare.

We have established an excellent reputation for quality of design, innovation and best practice within every development – no matter what the project budget.

“We have worked with Carless + Adams for a number of years now and their enthusiastic approach to solving problems has resulted in very successful projects! From the outset, Carless + Adams provide a supportive service which is most beneficial when working on complex projects. We plan to work with Carless + Adams on many more future projects and cannot recommend their services highly enough.”

“We have been extremely impressed with your work and designs in bringing Lord Harris Court to life. From the outset we have been enthused and delighted with every set of drawings. Your advice and guidance during this, our first major project, has been invaluable and greatly appreciated.”

KYN has developed a close and collaborative working partnership with Melissa and her team at Carless + Adams. Having worked together on several projects of differing complexity, we have found the team at C+A always offer a professional and prompt solution. We appreciate their attention to detail and creative approach in bringing KYN’s exquisite care homes to life and consider them to be an integral extension of our own professional team and a highly valued partner.
