The practice was appointed to look at the feasibility of the site located in the corner of a playing field and forming the entrance to a new residential development. There followed a close working relationshiop with the doctors to develop a design concept to reflect the philospohy of the medical practice. Through the use of drawings and models the design was developed to explore the architectural form. This resulted in an open, non hierarchical plan form with the patient waiting area in the centre. The doctors wish to retain the personal approach and will greet patients in the waiting area. The exposure of the site prompted a walled garden approach to give security and privacy to the consulting and treatment rooms in contrast to an open and visible public area. The resulting butterfly plan contains the consulting rooms in the south wing; treatment, operating rooms and administration in the nort wing, with the triangular shaped central space (body) containing the entrance and and waiting area. The apex of the triangle forms the entrance with the base providing panoramic views. The treatment and administration rooms occupy a two storey wing with an open gallery to the waiting area. This wing has balcony access to the quadrant shaped private courtyard while the consulting rooms occupy a single storey wing adjoining a square shaped, south facing courtyard. The building is constructed of load bearing brickwork and the main interior spaces are distinguished by the use of birch plywood panelling. Shortlisted for RIBA Award.
