Paul Vick Architects has received planning and listed building consent for a £4.5 million redevelopment of St Mary’s Convent and Nursing Home in Chiswick. The scheme seeks to adapt the Grade II-listed care home to contemporary needs, incorporating new independent residences and expanded communal spaces.

The proposals include approximately 450sqm of covered courtyards and eight independent residences, designed to integrate with the landscape and incorporate tree planting.
