Southglade Health Centre
The project involved delivery of healthcare provision for the local community in a bespoke, modern and sustainable building.
The complexities of the site provided interesting challenges but the decision to invert the building to make maximum use of the sloping site was a key design decision at the outset. As a consequence, not only does the building provide usable and highly accessible facilities, it also sits well within its setting – supplementing the neighbouring buildings without dominating the landscape.
The two storey health centre has space for up to six GP consulting rooms, three nurses’ rooms, three treatment rooms and a pharmacy.
