Atherton Hospital Redevelopment | Peddle Thorp

The Atherton Hospital Redevelopment is a building at the heart of its local community. A building that feels like home, that supports and retain staff, and nurtures and brings joy to patients.
References to the history of the site are woven throughout the design of the building, utilising shape and colour to connect to the history and natural form of the surrounding community. The building is wrapped in a colourful brick façade that reflects the form of the existing Hospital building demolished to make way for the new. Creating a playful welcome gesture that de-institutionalises the experience of people at the start of their healthcare journey. Familiar forms and access to nature creates immediate connections for the community to the new facility fostering a sense of familiarity and belonging, creating a building that staff and patients want to be at, providing them with a joyful, healthy, and user-friendly Hospital.
