Nuffield Healthcare Warwickshire Hospitals
Stage one recovery.
Photograph shows the recently refurbished Recovery area. The previously open recovery area has been enclosed inline with the requirements of HBN26. Tormax glass sliding doors have been introduced, with split sandblasting, to provide privacy for patients and still maintain an visual link between Theatre staff.

Stage One Recovery
Due for handover 3rd November, the photogrpah shows the internal view of the recently refurbished and enclosed Stage one recovery area. All M&E including medical gases have been upgraded. We’ve introduced a central Nurse workstation. The flooring has been setout to mirror the curtain tracks, as previously seen at Nuffield Newcastle. Also as Newcastle we have utilised Reglit glass screens, through out the Theatre department, to break up and provide interest into what would otherwise be large areas of blank walls.
If anyone is at a loss on what to do in the evenings until the 2nd November, I would highly recommend you visit York for the Illuminating York art event.
The Museum Gardens light installation on the ruins of St Mary’s Abbey and Yorkshire Museum was spectacular. It’s free and a repeat performance runs from 5pm till 11pm.

The shortlist for the Young Architect of the Year was announced last week – websites of shortlisted practices are linked below. If you’re stuck for inspiration, have a browse. As always, it’s mostly quite impressive competition entries, card models and graphics but if you look hard you can find a few built projects between them…
Here’s a bit of a bizarre project, but worth a look – it’s like an Archigram design brought to life! The house is designed to cater for a self sufficient nomadic lifestyle.
It’d be an impressive sight travelling down the high street, but I don’t think you’d be too popular once the novelty had worn off and traffic ground to walking speed!

This has been around for a while, but in case anyone hasn’t seen it yet it’s a good use of colour and perspective to liven up and aid navigation in an otherwise dull car park.
