Using the counselling rooms as a starting point, the spaces were arranged in the garden around a heart where the visitors can feel embraced by the architecture and understand the different spaces that the centre has to offer.

​

From these rooms, we created timber structures that lift the gardens at different heights and enhance a feeling of shelter by being constantly surrounded by greenery.

​

Inside, the timber cores are filled with shelving, using the walls as a canvas for the expression of home, where objects can be displayed and the users can take ownership of the building.

Maggie’s is a charitable organisation offering free psychological and emotional support for people affected by cancer including their family and friends.

​

The brief asks for an uplifting and welcoming building, creating a homely environment for its visitors. In response to the large scale buildings of the Hospital Campus, our Maggie’s creates a buoyant garden within which the building is set.
