Young Person’s Hospice

 

Location: Govan, Glasgow, UK

Date: September 2015

 

As an introduction to Govan, the youth hospice project was a unique project requiring understanding of a variety of sectors. The youth hospice is intended to have a simple plan but with hidden depths and alcoves within it’s double skin brick walls. A sense of security and calm, inspired by the Old Govan Church behind the site, is created through these brick walls. The facade approach allows sufficient daylight for hospice habitants but does leave them exposed to the general public passing by.
