“This hospital building provides a cure without recourse to rhetorical gestures, or stylistic gimmicks. The architect has shown great sensitivity in his handling of demanding requirements, thinking hard about the details that make a patient’s stay as comfortable as possible.”
Therapy gardens, green roofs and innovative green walls encourage biodiversity and enhance patient views. Natural light has been maximised and views to the surrounding rich landscape.
