As well as accommodating a GP surgery and clinical services on upper floors the building includes space for social events and performances in the double storey ground floor hall.
The building has a bold abstract form and is clad in horizontal bands of clear glass and translucent white recycled glass.
Designed to front onto a new public square and be visible from Heybourne Park the distinct building provides facilities for the area’s diverse community and will form a neighbourhood hub.
We have designed the building as a pavilion with a series of public rooms that each connect to an outdoor space and have aspect vertically through the building.
