evermore: a future- proofed home for care and continuity


How does a modest bungalow become a home adapted for changing needs without compromising identity or design concept? In Suffolk, Evermore rethinks accessible housing through the lens of long-term, joyful living. nimtim architects tells ABC&D more...


nimtim architects have completed the refurbishment and extension of a bungalow into a fully accessible, future-proofed home. The clients – Julia and Simon – had been living in a basement flat in North London that could not be adapted to Julia’s mobility requirements resulting from her multiple sclerosis (MS). In 2018, they began searching for a property they could shape to their needs, with a clear intention to build their forever home. A visit to Aldeburgh in 2020 proved transformative. The peaceful,


slow pace and proximity to the coast – only a short five minute drive from the house – offered an ideal lifestyle. Following the purchase of a typical bungalow with a large rear garden in 2021, the couple commissioned nimtim to create an accessible, adaptable home.
