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 love this house and it is a testament to your skills that it works so well for us. I am hoping that you will be able to help us again when (if) we succeed in buying the run down (and badly designed) bungalow we want – I will be in touch soon, I hope

Many thanks to Johnson Design for delivering exactly what we wanted: A bright, flexible, modern space which brings the garden and the lovely views of the upper Corvedale into our home, without losing anything of the character and warmth of our historic stone farmhouse. The family home of nearly 30 years has been greatly enhanced, giving a perfect blend of old and new, and the perfect venue for entertaining and family get-togethers. The extension was the proud focus for our wedding celebration and garden party for more than 100 guests over the Bank Holiday weekend, and bought in more admiring comments than we could count!

“A definite recommend! Matt and his team have worked tirelessly with us on our project over the last 3 years. I think it’s stretched everyone and every aspect of the planning process, matt and his team have been happy to research, find and negotiate tweaks throughout to get planning permission done.”

I have been involved with Johnson Design Partnership for some time now and my project with them began in March. I have been so impressed, in particular, with architect Matt Spinks, with his/their attention to detail, their inspiring ideas, and their attitude that nothing is ever too much trouble. They deal with things both promptly and efficiently and both myself and my daughter whose property it will be, and also to reside in, are so excited about the finished result.Cannot recommend this amazing company enough. Creating a new build like this, originally stables, can be a stressful time but this most professional company have succeeded in making it less so, Matt is always on the end of the phone or in person when needed. Thank you Johnson Design Partnership!!

It’s a refreshing change to have such good service these days. I really have no idea how your prices compare to other practices, but on the face of they look absolutely fine and look perfectly fair & reasonable, and if I’m honest, pleasantly surprising.
