Charity-run hospice in Enfield to provide specialist palliative care to patients with life-limiting illnesses
The building provides free-of-charge services including creative therapy, 24-hour in-patient care, physiotherapy and bereavement support as well as basic outpatient care in lieu of visiting a hospital.
Arranged in an L-shaped plan, the brick building is formed of two north facing gables with a single-storey multi-pitched extension at the rear that opens onto a south-facing private courtyard.
The ground floor contains a large kitchen and living room, a hair salon, a small room for art classes, an office and therapy rooms, with conference, meeting and treatment rooms on the floor above.
Along with a green roof on the extension the building uses natural ventilation (topped up by mechanical ventilation with heat recovery), solar panels, rainwater butts and a ground source heat pump.
