Going back to nature How designers of a flagship new treatment centre in Windsor are bringing the outside in I


mages of nature, calming colours, and natural materials make GenesisCare's new £7m headquarters and centre


for diagnostics, oncology and wellbeing a trailblazer for future healthcare interior design. Providing patient-friendly


individualised care was at the centre of the development in Windsor, Berkshire, which was managed by Ward Robinson and designed by CSM Architects. Ward Robinson’s interiors team


worked with fitters from DD Porter to soften the clinical and technological


environment by using calming colours and natural materials throughout. Slatted timber feature wall panelling


incorporating vibrant preserved moss sets the scene for the whole design.


The world outside And images such as swans gliding on water, deer grazing in a local park, and sunlight glinting through trees are used on large-scale wallpapers within the entrance and circulation spaces; while stylised leaf motif used in textiles on furniture and cushions was the


inspiration for the manifestation on the glazed partitions. Through patient feedback exercises


there was an overwhelming preference for more-vibrant and vivid colours for the general waiting, while more-neutral, calming tones were chosen for the treatment rooms and chemotherapy wing. Timber doors are laminated in


Resopal Soft Elm and it is this warm grey colour which is replicated in a bespoke stain used on feature wall panelling, skirtings, and joinery items such as banquette seating.
