St Andrew's Health Centre forms part of a 964 home masterplan in East London serving up to 20,000 local people on a three hectare disused hospital site.

​

The low-carbon scheme includes three linear blocks, each planned around a central courtyard and arranged to form streets and clear boundaries between public and private space.

​

The healthcare centre accommodates a GP surgery, pharmacy and community health services, open 7 days a week.

​

Facilities are also available for local networks of community groups and voluntary organisations. The consultation rooms are arranged around a central open courtyard space over two levels as part of the residential courtyard block.

​

The services design was developed to meet the Trust's onerous brief to naturally ventilate the accommodation and avoid the use of air

conditioning. This resulted in detailed thermal modelling which  identified the design of the opening windows and facade orientation.

​

Cited in the Mayor's Housing Design Supplementray Planning Guidance as an exemplar project for both its contemporary design

and internal space standards.
