Maggie’s Centre at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness was created in conjunction with Architects Page\Park as well as the esteemed landscape designer Charles Jencks. Maggie’s Centre provides non-residential care for cancer patients
The brief was to create an uplifting and inspiring building that could be a distraction from the actual purpose of the building. We certainly managed to meet the brief with this unusual and stimulating space provides a number of interconnected and secluded areas so the building could respond to the cancer patients emotional variances.
