Five floors of modern hospital and research facility in South London occupied by the Fetal Medicine Foundation and King’s College Hospital.
Located within the King’s College Hospital campus the new building is flanked on one side by an existing Victorian terrace and on the other a new concrete structure connected by a glazed atrium featuring columns mimicking the pregnant form which provide a dramatic focal area for patients and staff.
Internal spaces include consulting and treatment rooms, laboratories, lecture theatre, waiting areas and administration and office space.
It was important to the Client that all surfaces could be easily cleaned and sterilised, so glass and faux leather were used extensively.
Our involvement in the fit out included the waiting seating benches throughout the building, More glass and chrome desks for the consulting and treatment rooms, More workstations and steel storage in the office areas, and task and meeting chairs throughout the building in both real and faux leather from Moving.
On one of the upper floors of one of London’s premier office skyscrapers this floor is flooded with light. The use of the Vista double glazed flush frameless system together with a minimal dot manifestation design ensures the transparency is maintained around the exterior meeting rooms allowing unhindered views across the City in all directions. Double glazed flush pivot doors are used to achieve the required acoustic performance of 36dB from room to room.
The polished aluminium finish goes hand in hand with the building’s exterior silver structure and adds to the brightness of the space.
The desk solutions complement the overall transparent effect with long spanned multiple workstations and dealing room equipment.
