This Community Health Centre accommodates medical, dental and psychiatric services in a humane and supportive environment, with real links to the local community network by, for example, the integration of a bus stop in the front façade and connecting to an adjacent library. Materials, textures, colours and light all carefully and sensitively controlled to radiate a sense of wellbeing in staff and visitors alike. This building was intended to provide an exciting and uplifting experience upon entering. The centre was of domestic scale and construction in order to further support and encourage people to use the facilities offered by the centre.
