Healthcare

Well-planned outpatient and diagnostic environments are fundamental to delivering an efficient, accessible and positive patient experience. Clear space planning, intuitive wayfinding and carefully considered circulation help patients and staff navigate facilities with confidence and ease.

From welcoming, uplifting waiting areas to conveniently located consultation and treatment rooms, every element of the environment should support the patient journey while meeting the operational and technical requirements of modern healthcare.

Our work includes sexual health clinics, cancer centres, ophthalmology departments and paediatric outpatient facilities.

We bring together stakeholders, clinical teams and delivery partners to create flexible, resilient environments for integrated community healthcare. Our designs balance efficient clinical spaces with welcoming, accessible and easy-to-navigate spaces.

Our experience includes GP and dental surgeries, drop-in centres, maternity care, community health hubs and projects incorporating commercial and complementary services.

We design high-performing emergency and theatre environments that respond to increasing demands on patient flow, staff efficiency and clinical care. Clear spatial planning, structural engineering, intuitive sequencing and effective wayfinding create calm, purposeful environments where every movement matters.

We place patient dignity, privacy and respect at the heart of the design, creating spaces that support people at often challenging and vulnerable moments. Working closely with clients, clinical teams and patients, we integrate advanced healthcare technology with thoughtful design to create resilient, efficient spaces that support exceptional care.

Our Civil & Structures and architectural teams supports healthcare estates with infrastructure upgrades, backlog maintenance and plant replacement, alongside new clinical facilities and refurbishments. We assess existing buildings and site infrastructure, identify constraints and develop practical structural & civil engineering and architectural solutions for work within operational hospitals.

We have specialist experience in designing mental health and dementia environments, creating award-winning, internationally recognised spaces that place people at the heart of the design.

From homes and wards to end-of-life care, we carefully consider security, light, colour, texture, familiarity and access to nature to create safe, supportive and therapeutic environments. Dignity, compassion and a sense of belonging are woven into our architecture, helping people feel respected, comfortable and cared for throughout their journey.

A clear ambition for a healthcare portfolio helps inform design and environments. We work with clients on a range of estate strategies turning complex plans into simple goals. Delivering an engaging brief and feasible options, we can help transform your thinking and your aspirations into deliverable and accessible plans for now and the future.

Away from the public face of hospitals there are the spaces the public rarely see, with research, administration and places to study. We have designed spaces for medical schools, NHS trusts and private companies mixing commercial aspirations with practical solutions. These are the spaces where healthcare moves forward as research is nurtured and innovation fed.

Clients often draw on our different experts across their healthcare projects, combining architectural and engineering services or accessing specialist support for specific requirements, such as CDM and Building Safety Act compliance. Our flexible approach allows us to tailor our expertise to each project, from a single service to a fully integrated design team.
