Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice

Delivering a new build children’s hospice, known as The Ark, situated in the green belt on the edge of a conservation area for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice —  a community-based hospice devoted to providing support for children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families.

Forming the new facility achieved the charity’s noble aim to enhance the number of children they provide care to. Before completion the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice had only been able to provide care to 300 children —  the new facility can now be used by as many as 1,200 children.

KEY FACTS

The Project

The facility was the first hospice to be built in London in 10 years, and our team was appointed to deliver the new build state-of-the-art facility. The butterfly-shaped building created four distinct wings, providing in-patient facilities, a communal central space, plus office, bereavement suites, therapy and indoor and outside play areas.

Understanding the client’s aspiration of establishing a relationship with the surrounding nature reserve, we provide accessible sensory landscaped gardens stepping down between each of the four wings.
