Completed 2006

A substantial new research facility at Addenbrookes Hospital on the southern edge of Cambridge.

The buildings and landscape are organised around two new public routes: a vehicular route running east-west and a pedestrian and cycle way running north-south. The whole site is wrapped in a screen composed of native structure planting, mitigating the bulk of the building and extending and linking existing wildlife corridors.

To the east of the new buildings is a new green open space for public recreation. Planting has been chosen for habitat value, with the multi storey car park partially concealed by closely planted screens of fast-growing aspen.
