The Waldron Health Centre
YEAR
2010
SIZE
500,000 sqft - 1,000,000 sqft
BUDGET
$10M - 50M
Designed to change people’s perception of
healthcare, The Waldron is planned around a new civic square framed by the
health centre, shops, and a 5-storey development with street level café.
Inside, the 6,029 sq m health centre is organised around two courtyard gardens
and a spacious foyer featuring a site-specific installation by artist Martin
Richman. Located in the London Borough of Lewisham
just north of London’s South Circular inner ring road, in an area in which housing
estates and tower blocks populate a discontinuous landscape, the new centre
replaces an anonymous single storey health centre with a significant urban
development that has a greater capacity to shape the fabric of the locality and
form a backdrop for public activity. The site, a north-facing peninsula block,
neighbouring New Cross station is bounded by streets on three sides and sits on
the western end of a pedestrian route - Douglas Way - that links local
amenities including a leisure centre, arts centre and school, shopping street
(Deptford High St) and park (Fordham Park). Community allotments occupy the
southeast quadrant of the peninsula itself. The design demonstrates the practice’s interest
in creating a public building with the presence of a civic landmark that has
the capacity to shape the daily lives of those living nearby, whilst at the
same time retaining a level of intimacy necessary for clinical consultation. The plan is generated from the patient’s
perspective. The design seeks to describe a narrative journey in five frames
beginning with the square leading inside first to a foyer, then cloister,
waiting room and finally to a clinical room.
