Health Centre Design
Newtown Health Centre, Uckfield
The brief to the architect asked for "something imaginative," to explore the possibilities of building on a small and restricted town site in an architecturally barren area. This early sketch design proposed a private medical centre that would accommodate two doctors and provide spaces that could be used by other specialists and therapists.
The entrance from the street leads directly into a double height waiting area incorporating the reception and records storage. On the ground floor are two doctor's consulting rooms, each with it's own adjoining examination room.
A circular stair and small passenger lift provide access to the first floor gallery above the waiting area where four additional rooms provide space for a small pharmacy, a dental surgery, nursing staff and visiting therapists. A staff room with kitchenette is located on the second floor.
