We're shortlisted for Architectural Practice of the Year at this year's Healthcare Estates IHEEM Awards

Promoting better community health, the Cross Hands Community Health and Wellbeing Centre will seamlessly integrate healthcare into residents’ daily lives. Bringing many public services into one place, enhancing accessibility, ensuring proactive healthcare management and reducing acute care needs and hospital admissions.

Our Hospitals Transformation Programme (HTP) with Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is revolutionising healthcare in the region, fulfilling the Trust’s goal of offering acute care in one location. With innovative department layouts, orientation, movement strategies and digital architecture, we address the existing hospital’s challenges stemming from its gradual growth.

Part of our wider HTP work, the new elective hub at Princess Royal Hospital will reinvent same-day procedures. Enabling the Trust to increase the number of day-case operations undertaken, reducing waiting times and providing access to more specialist services.

We’re replacing the RAAC-plank maternity building at Countess of Chester Hospital with a new net zero carbon in operation Women’s and Children’s Unit. Using the site’s unique topography, following a sweeping curve, we created a high-quality inpatient environment with courtyards and terraces bringing daylight into the heart of the wards.

At Guys and St Thomas we created a specialist unit for teenagers with cancer and sickle cell disease in the Afro-Caribbean community. With a comfortable space for teenage patients, they can take their time to recover in a safe and welcoming environment. With ‘bedsit’ patient rooms, social spaces and a kitchen - a ‘home away from home’ provides supportive spaces for friends and families.
