Rehabilitation Centre of Excellence

At Johnson Design Partnership Ltd, our Shropshire-based architects were commissioned to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for the development of a cutting-edge Rehabilitation Centre of Excellence at a hospital near London. This project presents unique challenges and opportunities, particularly in terms of integrating the new facility with the existing hospital infrastructure while addressing the critical need for uninterrupted parking facilities.

Given the hospital’s constraints and the essential requirement to maintain current parking availability, our design solution focused on constructing the rehabilitation centre above an existing car park. This approach not only preserves the much-needed parking spaces but also facilitates seamless accessibility to the new facility. We proposed incorporating level access through a link bridge connected to the adjacent PFI building, ensuring that patients, staff, and visitors can move between buildings with ease. Additionally, lifts from the ground level will provide direct access to the new centre, further enhancing the accessibility for all users.

In our feasibility study, we explored both two and three-storey building options, each designed to optimize space while considering the potential for additional underground parking. This forward-thinking approach aims to future-proof the hospital’s infrastructure, accommodating the growing demand for healthcare services without compromising on convenience or functionality.

A critical aspect of our initial design phase involved a thorough analysis of the existing site. By understanding how the new rehabilitation centre would connect with various parts of the hospital, we could better anticipate the needs of the patients and visitors who currently utilize the adjacent car park. This analysis was crucial in shaping a design that is not only functional but also considerate of the diverse mobility issues faced by the centre’s future users.

Accessibility was, and remains, at the forefront of our design process. The new Rehabilitation Centre of Excellence is envisioned as a space that caters to a wide range of individuals, each with unique mobility needs. Our design ensures that the centre is accessible, welcoming, and user-friendly, reinforcing our commitment to creating healthcare environments that promote healing and well-being.

We looked at a couple of different Architect Practices whilst deciding on which to use for our house renovation, and immediately warmed to the team at Johnson Design Partnership Ltd. They were smart, professional, and following a visit to the property issued us with a comprehensive plan… We were both very impressed at the understanding and the detail that had gone in to finding out exactly what we wanted… Johnson Design Partnership handled the tender process with the Building contractors and again we were very happy with the choice that we made…. There was nothing left to chance and the whole team were a pleasure to work with… We really are very pleased with how the house was transformed throughout the five months that the builders were deconstructing it and then reconstructing it, and the end results are amazing, we love our home, and would and have recommended Johnson Design Partnership to friends and family alike

We would recommend Johnson Design for those wanting to extend their home. They came up with an original concept and layout, moving the stairs was something we’d not even considered but it works really well. They then worked with us to accommodate our ideas, making the design collaborative. They talked us through the various stages of the process and explained everything, also because they handled everything it meant we didn’t need to get involved with the complexities of the planning process.

“We have just finished an extension to our kitchen and dealt with Matt at JDP from the beginning to the end of the project. He was very professional throughout and I would recommend anyone to use JDP for their build project.”

We engaged Johnson Design 4 years ago at the start of a big renovation and new build project. Matt Spinks has always taken our ideas or vague notions of an idea and turned them into something innovative which is both attractive and practical. We were delighted with the final plans which went straight through planning permission, even though part of the project was a Grade 2 listed renovation. As a project manager Matt has also been first rate and thoroughly supportive. We would not hesitate to recommend Johnson Design.

I thoroughly enjoyed working through the design process with Johnson Design Partnership. They explained what was required each step of the way and achieved Planning Permission for my Paragraph 79 / House, first time! (Resolution to grant consent).

I would always recommend Johnson Design Partnership to anyone looking to create an Architecturally exciting project or indeed another successful paragraph 80 house.
