Maggie’s centres give people with cancer, their families and friends somewhere to turn to at an extremely difficult moment in their lives. Always close to a major cancer hospital, they are informal ‘domestic’ buildings where people can draw on practical, emotional and social support when they need it.
The brief from Maggie’s was for the Northampton centre to work almost as a house, a familiar space, a modern space.
Maggie’s said that their centres should have a distinctive appearance so that first-time visitors can easily find them. All Maggie’s centres are different and each has a unique look.
The white perforated roof panels and angled profiles of the building conjure up the appearance of marquee, a building type that tends to be associated with life’s happier events. Its distinctive appearance helps visitors locate the building as they approach from oncology for the first time.
It is important that the centre can be found easily and a warm welcome can be quickly offered.
The building is set out on two levels with a central top-lit atrium containing the library and the stairs. Around this space are positioned the kitchen, dining room, meeting rooms of various sizes, and a larger multi-use room for yoga/exercise, meetings and talks. This stairs lead up to the staff offices and further meeting spaces.
The kitchen is very much the heart of the centre, with good views out to the garden. Large oak-ledged and braced doors open out on to the continuous deck that goes around the building.
The overhanging roof and continuous deck means that people can walk around the building viewing the different aspects of the garden, and can also sit out in different weathers. This emphasieses one of the central ideas at Maggie’s, Northampton, which is the blurring of inside and out.
