Baldry Gardens London 2004–2010

In this 3-storey centre, clinical rooms are located on the first floor to resolve the conflict between a daylit interior and a concern for patient dignity. The building plays on its simple massing, the quality of the brickwork and the scale and nature of the windows.

‘The practice portfolio is rich with civic buildings,…, often with a limited budget. The staircase is one of the highlights of this simple, inexpensive building.’ Rory Olcayto
