Healthcare & Residential Care design that puts people first
We are an architectural design studio working with care operators, healthcare providers, developers and contractors across the public and private sectors. We design and deliver new-builds, refurbishments, extensions and conversions that meet today’s standards and put people first: patients, residents, visitors and staff. We are based at the Digital Media Centre in Barnsley, South Yorkshire and work with clients nationwide.
Our approach
Great projects begin with people. Whether you are an operator, a developer, a trust or a contractor, we bring the same care, clarity and commitment to every project.
Our practice is built on listening, collaboration and a deep understanding of how the spaces we design will be used every day. We approach each project with a pragmatic mindset. We balance creativity with real-world constraints so the design is thoughtful and, just as importantly, buildable.
About the studioDesign that cares
Reflective design, not institutional
Our approach to design reflects how spaces will be experienced whilst remaining functional, efficient and not institutional.
Efficient and functional design
Logical layouts, practical, buildable solutions that make every square metre count.
Safe and compliant
Fire safety, accessibility and sustainability are designed in from the start. Our Principal Designer services under CDM and the Building Regulations keep compliance on track and the golden thread of information in order.
Working in live environments
Most care projects happen in occupied buildings. We work with you and wider stakeholders to understand operational requirements and reflect these in the design and communicate this with contractors.
Our experience
Our team has gained extensive experience across the health and care sectors, spanning the public and private sectors, so we understand the funding, governance and approval processes that come with each.
