The new site offers the opportunity to create a purpose designed facility, seamlessly integrating the building and the landscape to provide a wide range of therapeutic spaces. The landscape design was informed through consultation and close dialogue with the Hospice clinicians and management team.
The Hospice’s ambition for the project was to avoid the institutional character typical of many health and care facilities. The design process examined how the Hospice currently functions, developing new ways that care could be delivered and discussing the benefits this could bring to patients, families and staff.
