HEALTHCARE DESIGN PROJECT REPORT
The cladding is a mix of powder-coated white and metal sheets, many of which have been embossed with a design based on a micro- scopic view of tooth dentine
the design stage, which is a prerequisite for all new NHS buildings.
‘A healing place’
Much of the car parking is provided out of sight at undercroft level with attractive upward sloping landscaping leading up to the ‘woodland walk’ running alongside Bourne Brook.
One also designed the external landscap-
ing, creating a planting scheme involving wild meadow grasses to preserve biodiver- sity, linking into the overall landscape masterplan scheme for the Pebble Mill site. This did not have to be extensive as the building benefits from views of the attrac- tive, mature landscaping dating back to the studio era that lies on edge of the grounds. Summing up, Whittall comments: “The building is in a beautiful setting in leafy Edgbaston, and enjoys views of both nature and the city skyline. It’s a lovely spot to work in, and the surroundings combined with the design of the building make this a healing place that helps to put patients at ease.”
