Alessandro Caruso Architecture & Interiors Ltd (ACA) is pleased to announce that we have been
awarded our third World Design Award (2024) for the design of Porritt Care Village in Ramsbottom.
The World Design Awards stand as one of the globe's most esteemed honours in the architecture
and design domain. This accolade acknowledges exceptional concepts that revolutionise
architectural design by incorporating innovative technologies, materials, programs, aesthetics, and
spatial arrangements.
Our award win showcased ACA’s design of Porritt Care Village on behalf of Millennium Care, which
exemplifies ACA's commitment to sustainable, people-centric architecture that enhances
community well-being.
Porritt Care Village is a state-of-the-art, 52-bed care home designed to provide specialized dementia
care and foster intergenerational community engagement. ACA employed a holistic approach to
design, emphasising sustainability and community integration. The Y-shaped building layout
optimises natural light and ventilation while blending seamlessly with the surrounding Green Belt
landscape. The design highlights the use of eco-friendly materials and the focus on creating
functional yet aesthetically pleasing spaces that enhance residents' quality of lives.
Alessandro Caruso, Managing Director, ACA says:
“At ACA, our mission is to create happier and healthier environments that enhance quality of
life. Having personally witnessed the transformative impact of well-being-focused designs in
improving individuals' experiences, I am excited to see our vision come to life.”
Omair Haider, Managing Director, Millennium Care says:
“This World Design Award is reflective of both ACA’s creative design prowess and the
inherent energies that permeate the design. It has been a true career highlight for us
working with ACA on the design of this project.”
