The existing Bon Secours Care Village at Mount Desert is an award winning facility of outstanding quality, however it faced an increased demand for admissions and hence began the vision for the expansion. The site is approx. 3.6 hectares, set amongst a mature woodland. The most striking site attributes are the sloping topography, the wooded backdrop and the superb views of the river valley and city beyond.

​

A 36-bed extension to the Care Village was designed by O'Connell Mahon Architects and built by Eamon Costello Ltd. with the final cost of the project estimated at €7.25 million ex VAT. SCOTT Landscape Design was commissioned by Bon Secours Health System to carry out the planning permission application in 2016, including a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment.

 

We proceeded with detailed design and consturciton package for the external landscape works both hard and soft landscape elements, which was finally complete in 2018.
