Description:<br />
The bid proposes to re-provide a 312 bed Forensic inpatient<br />
facility to replace an existing Victorian institution. The services<br />
include learning difficulties, adults and older persons mental<br />
health reprovided in a new campus. The design focuses<br />
upon the individual patient experience, breaking down the<br />
accommodation into a number of ‘houses’ arranged around<br />
large activity gardens and courtyards to create an architecture<br />
of enclosure without fences. This therapeutic environment will<br />
play an important role in patient treatment and rehabilitation. Roseberry<br />

Merano Competition<br />
The Challenge<br />
The brief for the new Accident and Emergency Department and<br />
support facilities at Merano Hospital provides a challenging and<br />
exciting opportunity to deliver a great asset to the hospital,<br />
town and local community.<br />
Merano is a beautiful town located in a spectacular position in<br />
the foothills of the Dolomites. The region has a rich architectural<br />
heritage and a recent history of constructing sensitive yet<br />
exciting new buildings.<br />
The challenge is to live up to these standards whilst designing<br />
a highly effective, functional modern hospital facility. An<br />
A&E Department is clearly driven by vital organisational<br />
requirements, which here are further complicated by the desire<br />
to enlarge and reorganise the existing facilities, whilst keeping<br />
the department operational at all times. The constraints of the<br />
relatively tight site also pose problems. Our design proposal’s<br />
response to these challenges and constraints is to turn the<br />
problems into opportunities, organising the accommodation<br />
around the key existing facilities and phasing requirements.<br />
Organisation<br />
Our proposals envisage the creation of two separate, but closely<br />
linked zones within the A&E Department – an Emergency Unit<br />
and a Minor Injuries Unit. It also separates ambulance access<br />
from private vehicle access to the department, as well as the<br />
delivery areas from disposal and recycling areas, as demanded<br />
in the brief.<br />
The first zone, organised within the area of the existing A&E<br />
Department, is the new Emergency Unit, with ambulance<br />
access up the existing ramps.<br />
The second zone, located in the new building on the upper<br />
ground floor, is the new Minor Injuries Unit. The entrance area<br />
houses the acceptance office and arrival waiting area. The<br />
triage, associated waiting, radiology and treatment areas are<br />
located on the upper ground level, accessed via the new lift and<br />
stair core, which also plugs into the new Emergency Unit.<br />
The new Clinical Engineering Department and container<br />
washing facilities are located on the lower ground floor of the<br />
new building, with the waste disposal and recycling centre at<br />
basement level, accessed by vehicles via the existing ramp.<br />

Architectural Concept<br />
The intention is to provide a friendly welcoming building<br />
that reduces the sense of the hospital as a large impersonal<br />
institution, helping reduce stress for patients. The design uses<br />
features of local and regional architecture, such as timber<br />
cladding with typical details, as well as extending the grass roofs<br />
of the hospital. The lightweight space-fame structure enclosing<br />
the plant equipment and vertical circulation cores provides an<br />
economic but striking way of enclosing the required volumes, at<br />
the same time evoking the mountainous setting of Merano. The<br />
scale and proportions of the new building marry well with the<br />
existing structures, whilst the contrasts of materials and form<br />
help provide a strong identity for both the new Accident and<br />
Emergency Unit and the Hospital as a whole.<br />

Contract Value:<br />

Description:<br />
The project is undertaken within a 1.4ha site in Battery Road,<br />
Thamesmead - London SE28. Residential units closely bound<br />
the site to the southern, western, and eastern boundaries and<br />
a canal to the northern boundary.<br />
The proposals involve the construction of a single storey 3130m2<br />
new building including external works. The new primary school<br />
caters for pupils aged 4-11, fully inclusive and accessible, and<br />
has a SEN base (Special Education needs) for Designated Special<br />
Provision. The school also incorporates a Children’s Centre that<br />
will cater for pupils aged under 3. The main school and the<br />
children’s centre between them provides sufficient capacity to<br />
support a range of services including breakfast clubs, extended<br />
day childcare, after school and study support, parent and child<br />
health programmes, as well as providing meeting bases for<br />
community uses such as sports, worship, self help, for local<br />
organisations and societies.<br />
The construction programme involved a complex phasing<br />
programming operation and required a sympathetic and<br />
flexible approach within the confines of the surrounding<br />
environment. A highly technical and experienced team, capable<br />
of innovative planning and coordinative skills was essential.<br />
A close collaborative working relationship with the End-user,<br />
Client, and Project team has been fundamental to achieving<br />
a successful and rewarding project for all concerned. The<br />
establishment of effective partnering/working relationships at<br />
the outset was essential to the achievement of these specific<br />
project objectives.<br />
