Community health centre, which aims to promote awareness of healthcare in the community through a strong street presence and a high degree of openness

The glazed frontage beneath the zinc-clad upper levels reveals an open stair within a triple height void, which forms the hub of the building and links the clinic facilities and administrative office space. To provide privacy the principle spaces of consulting rooms and large offices are predominantly contained within a timber box to the rear of the building.

The nursery accommodation, which is an autonomous part of the building, has a requirement for privacy and containment and is physically separated from both the road and the rest of the building. It is built under a projecting canopy that creates sheltered play spaces.

Landscaping slabs at the rear of the building have three distinct levels, reflecting the development of the growing children and the different nursery classes.
