CONTAINER BUILDINGS OF GREENERY

16 Jun 2015


Buildings presented as a series of containers, each with its own private garden, will use greenery to evoke positive and therapeutic qualities.



The innovative concept for the new Maggie’s Centre in Yorkshire is based around forming the buildings to look like a series of containers, each presenting their own private garden and using the greenery to evoke a positive and therapeutic experience - unlike the more formal and clinical hospital environment.



Realised by Heatherwick Studio, the Maggie’s Centre is focused on providing specialist cancer services, with a core program of support including psychological support, nutrition workshops, relaxation and stress management, art therapy, tai chi and yoga.

Each volume is set at different heights where the flora and fauna is purposely planted at differing proportions - allowing the greenery to naturally drape over the edges of the buildings, meanwhile the private areas will be located within.

Hoping to instill a warm and uplifting interior setting for visitors to the centre, guests and passers-by, Maggie’s Yorkshire is set to open its doors in 2017.
