Palliative Care Centre, macmillan caring locally (2019)
This palliative care centre in Christchurch, Dorset, provides artistic therapy facilities to enable the patients to come to terms with their prognosis through social connection and emotional outlets. The proposal utilises a warm colour palette and features underfloor heating, hygenic surface materials, and garden views as a central focal point.
Their health degeneration can be monitored in a non-invasive method - through motor function and dexterity observation of physical activity. These are supported by therapy spaces to be used by both doctors and support groups.
