Medical Architecture
Kimmeridge Court is a £8 million inpatient unit at St Ann’s Hospital in Poole that provides specialist accommodation and a therapeutic environment
It has been built within the grounds of the Grade II*-listed hospital on the Dorset coast, for Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust.
The building has been designed to have a low impact on the mature trees that occupy the site and on the character of the surrounding area. An irrigated foundation design lifts the building above the roots of the large mature Category A trees, which enabled their retention close to the new building.
The bedroom accommodation and the patient day spaces are on the ground floor, providing eight inpatient beds and two high-dependency beds. Staff and therapy rooms occupy the first floor with a large multifunctional activity space providing views out across the tree canopy.
Internally, natural materials and neutral colours have been used throughout to complement the views out to nature. Large areas of glazing and rooflights provide natural light to reinforce circadian rhythms and reduce the need for internal lighting.
