The centre was designed by Penoyre & Prasad Architects in consultation with patients, their families and staff. One of its most striking features is the south façade. Folded aluminium louvres are suspended on a tensioned cable net to prevent direct light entering the building, whilst at the same time creating fascinating abstract imageries.
Lightscape Projects - part of the Light Projects Group - was responsible for the lighting design, installation and programming. A total of 64 Tryka Strip Module Optic IP67 in different lengths were selected for the project, along with other Light Projects LED fittings.
Light Projects Group's director Roger Beckett enthuses: "The Tryka LED linear units were most suitable for this application as they fitted the narrow aperture between the window and suspension wires perfectly, due to their narrow profile. In addition they had an ideal light distribution and control for this kind of lighting scheme."
