NORD Appointed Architects for our New Hospice
16 Aug 2011
We're delighted to announce the appointment of Glasgow based award-winning architects NORD to design our new Hospice facility, aimed to be completed in 2016.
With the site of the new Hospice still to be finalized, NORD responded to our brief by looking to the familiar image of 'the home' to see how they might approach creating an appropriate but inspiring building, drawing on some of the key themes from our current building at Carlton place.
Alan Pert, Director of NORD, said:
"We are thrilled to have been appointed for The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice and are greatly looking forward to working closely with the Hospice team in realising a landmark project for the City of Glasgow. Undoubtedly this is a demanding brief that requires a need for practical problem solving with inspirational design ideas to fully compliment the Hospice's Philosophy of Care. We believe that just as the care focuses on the patient and not the disease, the building should do the same".
Throughout the tender process we were extremely impressed with the NORD team for their creative approach and understanding of what we do. As a Glasgow based company with a passion for everything Glaswegian, we believe NORD will be the ideal partner for us as we build the future of the city's Hospice.
