DWA Architects designs care homes for developing countries
9:40am Wednesday 12th June 2013 in Business news By Julie Hayes, julie.hayes@thepress.co.uk
A YORK architecture practice which specialises in designing care villages for elderly people is helping developing countries look after their elderly.
DWA Architects, based in Blossom Street, has completed more than 250 care projects in the UK and is now taking its expertise to the Middle East, Africa, China and India.
Mel Fairbourn-Varley, international projects director for the firm, which employs 35 people in York and Warrington, said they decided to spread their wings about four years ago.
Mr Fairbourn-Varley has just returned from making a presentation on architectural and interior design for senior living, care and dementia environments at the China International Senior Services Expo in Beijing, as well as visiting Egypt to progress a number of projects they have in the pipeline.
Because of the wealth in the Middle East, we started there as the first port of call, he said. The firm partnered with a Qatari company and started accumulating research about the elderly situation in the Middle East. He said the different states faced different challenges, but as they became wealthier, young people were more highly educated and mobile, with less time to look after elderly relatives.
The firms research led a Beijing-based design studio to approach them to compete to design a large care village project in Shunde District, in the Guangdong Province of China.
Age Concern International has also approached the company and introduced it to the Egyptian market, where it is now working with the Egyptian government and hotel sector about a potential project to create assisted living accommodation for tourists aged over 55 in Luxor, Egypt. He said Luxor was a city linking the oasis towns in the western desert and Red Sea resorts, known for their natural holistic medical treatments, which have been proven to improve health issues such as arthritis and psoriasis.
Mr Fairbourn-Varley said: They havent exploited it as a tourist attraction. Theres an opportunity there for us to look at that as a possible tourist attraction for over-55s in the European, US and Middle Eastern markets.

Three months ago the RoomReveal staff of design geeks was up in arms over who were the best new design professionals to reveal their portfolios this past Winter. To keep the peace amongst co-workers they decided to take the vote to the streets [of the Internet] and allow design enthusiasts across the country vote on who is truly "Best In Design" this season.
The competition was fierce and the design work exquisite. The judges knew this was going to be a tight race right up until the end. On the morning of May 11, 2013 the nominations were counted and the judges thoroughly reviewed the profiles of hundreds of top interior designers, architects, kitchen and bath designers and home remodeling gurus in the days that followed.
"There are so many exceptional design professionals on RoomReveal that the decision was really close," says RoomReveal founder, William Moynihan. "We were really able to leverage the design fans and homeowners that frequent RoomReveal to choose the winners for this season's Reveal Awards through the feedback they contributed across hundreds of nominated portfolios. Since anyone can "Like" specific design elements within each photo through our unique tagging system it was very insightful to see what people truly love about each space revealed.
"This season's top design professionals will each receive a limited edition RoomReveal magazine cover celebrating their "Best In Design" achievement. RoomReveal will also select a handful of winners who can proudly display an exclusive "Best In Design" award badge on their Website and RoomReveal profile.
Without further ado, here are the Spring 2013 Reveal Awards top picks for "Best In Design":

Trend Setting Interior Designers and Architects Unveiled as Winners of the Spring 2013 Reveal Awards by RoomReveal
While some jobs are coming back in this economy, the market for many architects remains tough. There were nearly 220,000 people working in the field in 2008. Today, more than 25 percent of those jobs are gone.

The latest government jobs report shows slow and steady gains in job creation. But for many architects, things remain tough. Five years ago, there were nearly 220,000 people working in the field, but today, a quarter of those positions are gone.
NPR's Wendy Kaufman has more.
WENDY KAUFMAN, BYLINE: We first met veteran architect Gary Barber back in 2010; he'd been laid off by a major architectural firm two years earlier two years earlier, and was looking for a full time job. He's still looking.

KAUFMAN: He's managed to find some small projects that keep him somewhat busy - projects like this soon to be opened Mexican restaurant.
GARY BARBER: There's going to be a walk-in cooler in the corner. This is their dish wash and scullery area. And we're going to - a tortilla machine over there that's going to sit right in the middle, and...
