The original Poplars hospital site at Epping shows how something old can be transformed into something new and fit in with the surrounding architectural theme.  Encompassing low care, high care and dementia areas with community areas including a café, activity rooms, dining rooms and hairdresser, all of which have a a high level of finishes and services throughout. The stained hardwood timber finishes, custom made carpets, stone bench tops, special order light fittings and imported pavers all combine to give a feeling of relaxed warmth.  The building also has many energy efficient features including large photovoltaic panels installed to generate renewable power, large underground rainwater re-use tanks, a gas boosted solar hot water system and double glazed windows and all ‘put together ‘ by an excellent Master Builder.
