We were appointed as Architects to deliver a brand new Cancer Support Centre at Kettering General Hospital.

The new centre, which is the first of its kind in Northamptonshire, will be used by people who are living with, or are affected by, cancer and will offer them support, resources and therapeutic services. The centre is situated within a courtyard inside the hospital’s main ward block, and will be operated by Kettering General Hospital, alongside their partner, Macmillan Cancer Support.

Located on a difficult site, the building has been designed to make the best use of the available space, whilst providing an engaging and sympathetic environment for users of the centre. The unique curved nature of the plan enables the building to interact with several interesting external spaces that have been created, while maintaining the requirement for a less clinical, private and calming setting.
