Cancer care centre built in the car park of the Freeman Hospital
The centre has two wings - one for counselling rooms with a large living room space, the other leads to the kitchen table. A central library incorporates stairs up to a mezzanine level, covered by an angled roof covered in photovoltaic panels.
The mezzanine leads out onto the flat landscaped roof, screened by planting. A courtyard occupies the fourth quadrant, which visitors can see and walk out into from the kitchen and large meeting room.
The energy efficient building incorporates solar panels on the roof and has thick insulation.
