An award for an outstanding acute or non-acute healthcare building where patient-centred considerations are as evident as clinical and managerial priorities.

Winner
Meyer Children’s Hospital, Italy
Commissioned by Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Meyer
Designed by CPSE and Anshen + Allen
The judges said: “Integrating a modern paediatric hospital into an existing architectural and landscape setting constituted a major design challenge, which has been successfully and imaginatively met by using the dramatic contours to full effect and by fully understanding the need to de-formalise the childrens’ surroundings with a lightness of touch.“
Highly Commended
Altnagelvin Area Hospital, Northern Ireland
Commissioned by: Altnagelvin Area Hospital
Designed by HLM Architects in association with Hall Black Douglas Architects
The judges said: The new South Wing sets an enlightened standard of design giving functional clarity and a clearly-defined interior. The full integration of varied, high-standard artwork is noteworthy.
Highly Commended
The Knockbreda Centre, Northern Ireland
Commissioned by: Belfast Health and Social Care Trust
Designed by Penoyre & Prasad in association with TODD Architects
The judges said: ‘This project successfully provides a closely integrated range of clinical, outreach and other services and creates a stimulating yet calming impression by recognising the need for a very human scale. “
