Birmingham Children?s Hospital NHS Trust?s new burn unit combines the old and the new to create a memorable space for its young patients. Architects from RPS Planning & Development ensured that the structure meets all the latest requirements for treatment, but with a design that attempts to reflect the sprit of the children, adolescents and families treated there.
The structure features a red curve, a cantilevered blue "drum," and a yellow "cheese wedge." While the red and blue zones are strictly aesthetic effects, the yellow wedge houses a unique twin bed space in the burns ward with a clear view across the city. Windows were mounted low so young patients and their visitors have views of the outdoors.
The building's striking design and colorful exterior rely in part on an advanced façade system by Hunter Douglas.
