Project Description: ‘The Shields Centre’ for NHS GG&C is located in the East Pollokshields area of South Glasgow. The project involves the construction of a new health centre to accommodate two existing, local GP Practices, as well as some social work and CHP facilities. The area has a rich demographic mix with in excess of 30 different languages known to be spoken in the neighbourhood. Sensitive design was required therefore to meet the needs of the entire community successfully. The design is centred round a bright, airy, double height waiting and reception area. Short wings containing the doctors’ consulting rooms lead off the main space. The upper floor contains a further smaller waiting space, as well as the social work and CHP facilities. Externally, a community garden has been incorporated to link the building with the neighbouring community centre, as well as to engender feelings of ownership of the building in the local community. The garden will showcase food growing techniques for healthy living, making an important link between food and health. Artwork has been incorporated

Inclusion of Art: Alex Hamilton’s interests lie within the areas of art, ecology, social engagement and environment research across the traditional disciplines of visual art, landscape art, design and architecture. He endeavours to raise awareness of their complex relationship in exhibitions, workshops, and talks. Alex often works within multidisciplinary teams to offer a new approach to visual analysis or research requirements. These creative interventions can be used as ways to engage audiences, create interpretation models, facilitate public art projects or help generate ideas for exhibitions. The artwork at The Shields Centre is in two modes, manifestations applied to glazing and laser cut CorTen steel fins. Both modes use a language distilled from a library of artwork generated by the local community. Alex engaged with a number of summer school groups, community groups and local organisations through a number of structured workshops. The participants were asked to contemplate plant species that were of significance in their lives, they then gathered parts of these plants and created their own art with them. This was done by arranging the plants onto a dichromatic photosensitive paper. These were left under a glass plate exposed to the sun. The product was a vivid blue x-ray image of the structure of the plants. These images were collated and formed a visual library from which Alex generated his designs. These designs were then applied to the various media, each performing a practical function of security, privacy and visual interest.

The West Centre Project Description: A high profile, multi-award winning, community health building located in a socially deprived area of Glasgow. The building is designed to provide a ‘joined-up, holistic facility’ for children and family services in the West of Glasgow, incorporating health, psychiatric and social work facilities under a single roof. Given the innovative nature of the building, there was particularly close consultation and collaboration with the building’s staff in order to develop a completely new delivery model. The building contains a number of innovative features including a fresh approach to security. The building is highly secure, however, both externally and internally it appears very ‘open’; no external security screens, or shutters are fitted. The building contains a number of sustainable features including super-insulation, passive ventilation with the use of the atrium as a ventilation stack, low embodied energy materials and a total energy design. There was a particularly extensive arts strategy in the building (also award winning). Art pieces were incorporated into the
12
external and internal fabric, as well as the landscape. The artwork is light and fun and has been designed specifically with the children using the building in mind.

Inclusion of Art: The Artwork at the Drumchapel Children and Family Centre was created by three artists, Linda Mallett, Tim Taylor and Tassy Thomson. Tim Taylor was responsible for creating some 26 individual works throughout the internal fabric of the building. This required close collaboration with the architect, the contractor, the lead artist and the client group in creating, programming and installing the works and the budgeting involved in their delivery. He also devised and ran a number of successful workshops with the local school to create works for the foyer. “The work on the Drumchapel Children and Family Centre constitutes my ongoing exploration of the beauty, pathos and humour inherent in the everyday object, incident and environment. Materials used include objects such as bus tickets, car indicators, block ice, domestic appliances, soap and burnt matches. With minimal manipulation I strive to elevate and celebrate the commonplace, continuing the investigation of the everyday as a means for communication within the visual arts.” Tim Taylor. Tassy Thomson created the external crèche play area and animated boundary wall. Tassy has a great deal of experience working with children in an art context and brought these skills to the project. Linda Mallett introduced text based art which linked well known children’s books that are kept in the waiting area with large-scale manifestations on glazed screens in the atrium. We worked very closely with all the artists both individually and as a group in order to create a unique and rich arts ‘layer’ to the building.

The Scottish Epilepsy Centre
Project Description: The William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre provides the only residential assessment and treatment centre in Scotland for adults with epilepsy, with 12 in-patient beds, family accommodation, communal areas as well as consulting rooms, conference facilities and a staff base. The centre is integrated with the Institute of Neurological Sciences at the Southern General. Diagnostics in the EEG suite provide remote continuous monitoring of patients indoors and out, and there are consulting rooms, conference facilities and a staff base. The large roof overhang and raking double storey laminated timber columns provide both solar control and placemaking on St Kenneth Drive. Built on the site of the old Elderpark Primary School, the building incorporates salvaged stone features, terracotta finials and decorative ironwork. Other material was donated to the Elderpark Garden Project. Sustainability has driven the use of BREEAM A or A+ materials. The gas powered CHP engine feeds electricity into the grid generating income, and enough hot water
18
to supply the underfloor heating system. The building is naturally ventilated, and natural light and views out are abundant. Awards: GIA Awards 2014, Best Healthcare Building.

Inclusion of Art: Paula Thompson is a glass designer whose work treads harmoniously between the fields of design, art and architecture. She works predominantly with glass and materials which are manipulated by light. Paula liasesd closely with the architect and client to interpret and create innovative and valued design solutions. At the SEC the aim was to strip away layers of medical history, using the latest technology to make an accurate diagnosis. Paula integrated this layering metaphor into her designs – applying artwork to three faces of the glass within the double glazed units. The layering allowed for a build up of complexity, creating an interplay of light, shadow and pattern. The design is inspired by neuron performance. It includes over 25,000 motifs, each based on EEG montage. Just like neurons the motifs never directly touch. Neurons migrate to different parts of the brain to self-organise into different structures. The artwork represents this, each window containing a variety of EEG montages creating a pattern from an organised design.

Dunscore Health Centre Project Description: The construction of a new health centre in the village of Dunscore, a rural area near Dumfries. It provides local healthcare for a wide geographical area. The site is on the edge of a very picturesque village and the building forms a key gateway on the approach from Dumfries. The building is contemporary in design, yet fits sympathetically into its context. Taking its cue from traditional buildings in the village, the building is sited to align with the road. Approaching the village from the east, it is the first building seen from the B729 and we have therefore incorporated a double height area of curtain walling that will be illuminated at night as a feature. The gables incorporate passive stack outlets reminiscent of traditional chimneys. The one and a half-storey design has a partly inhabited, steep, dual pitched roof. The construction envelope and siting were carefully considered to allow future expansion if required. The waiting area and consulting rooms are located to enjoy the benefit of the beautiful views to the south and east.

Project Description: The construction of a new build health centre for NHS Dumfries and Galloway. The new building for local GPs has 8 consulting and clinical rooms with facilities for support staff and administration, as well as Community Healthcare Partnership (CHP) facilities. Health services accommodated within the building include podiatry, orthopaedics, physiotherapy, health visitors, district nurses, midwifery and visiting specialists. As well as providing new bright and accessible accommodation for health practitioners and support services, the building is designed to maximise access to the community and ensure that it can be used after hours, whilst maintaining lock down from the rest of the building. For this client and rural location we used a contemporary rural aesthetic for the building to ensure that it fits into its local context. The waiting areas and consulting rooms also enjoy the benefit of the site’s beautiful views. The building has modern detailing, construction techniques and materials, including timber cladding and feature chimneys to provide passive stack ventilation.

Project Description:
Doune Medical Practice currently has 3650 registered patients. Around 180+ new homes have been built in Doune over the last two years and this has led to an increase in the practice list size of approximately 200 patients. It is envisaged that an expected further 300 patients will register when the house building is complete. There are also further new housing developments planned in nearby Deanston over the next 5 years. The practice must respond to the challenge of serving an increasing population. The existing accommodation in Doune is already too small for the current population and has very limited scope for extension. This physically limits the capacity to deliver the full range of services needed by the community. In addition to providing the capacity to meet current needs this facility must be able to respond to the ageing local population and the rise in dementia sufferers. The new premises will enable old age psychiatry services to be provided to the local population through doctor and CPN clinics and dementia link services. Similarly, adult mental health services and dermatology services can be expanded from the new premises.

Project Description: This health centre will be constructed on the site of a previous GP’s surgery that was destroyed by a fire. The new building provides accommodation for six GPs and four practice nurses, with a list of over 8,000 patients. The development is being funded by NHS Lanarkshire and includes seven doctors’ consulting rooms, treatment rooms, nurse consulting rooms, phlebotomy rooms, a secure storage facility for medical records and archives, an interview suite, library, a large group room for use by a range of services and staff, administration and office areas and a purpose built pharmacy. In order to minimise circulation spaces there is a single escape stair; there is also a lift. Air source heat pumps are used for heating in order to comply with current Building Standards, with underfloor heating used throughout This two and a half storey building has an inhabited roof (using cassette panels) to give a clear span and a series of flexible and adaptable spaces which can easily be altered as needs change. Access to all areas of this community resource will be fully compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act (1995). It will offer improved pedestrian access and security and has been designed to maximise light and thermal performance and provide a safe, welcoming environment for patients and staff.

Spinal Outpatient Resource Centre Project Description: This project comprises the extension and adaptation of existing buildings at Clober Farm into a modern multi purpose resource centre for individuals that have spinal cord injuries. Spinal Injuries Scotland wished to use this development to showcase a fresh approach to creating and retrofitting an existing property into a fully accessible home using a more design driven approach. Typically projects of this nature tend to be very institutional and clinical but our design gives its future residents a full sense of what life at home could be like while letting them experience a modern adapted environment. We adapted the existing property into a fully accessible and modern environment. The design was fully compliant with ‘Housing for Varying Needs” guidelines, and fully implements all principles of accessibility without diminishing the strong levels of aesthetics and design. Wheelchair accessible car parking is provided and the rear garden was regraded and paved, with raised planters accessible to people in wheelchairs.
34
We developed a “green” roof and walls for this development which reflect local biodiversity and character while contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Project Description: This project consists of the refurbishment and new build of a fire damaged, 40 bed residential care home for elderly men with alcohol problems, managed by the Talbot Association. The existing building is a 1970’s brick built care home. Approximately half of this building was completely destroyed by fire; the remaining portion did not meet current building regulation or Care Commission requirements. Our brief was to create an accessible and sustainable building which met all of the current regulations in terms of special needs care for the elderly. We achieved this by complete reconfiguration of the internal layout, adding bay windows with larger windows to create more appealing bedrooms, overcladding the existing structure with an insulated render system and greatly increasing the thermal performance of the building. The new accommodation provides 40 ensuite bedrooms, a social hub connecting the dining room and games room, quiet lounges, kitchen, staff accommodation and external landscaped

Project Description: This facility to house retired/disabled ex servicemen in a 34 bedroom unit at Mains Drive in Erskine was designed with the desire to produce a building which was domestic in scale, both internally and externally, to avoid the atmosphere of being accommodated in an institutional building. Despite the short timescale, we spent time thinking through the details at the smallest scale – such as the best shape of window with options of simply watching or interacting with people outside. Designing for people with a disability presents special challenges for an architect because so much equipment is institutional in character. We needed to downgrade their impact by design, in order to create the atmosphere of a comfortable home. We mocked up a room in advance of the project in a disused wing of the hospital, and staff tested it by carrying out various activities, which would be done day-to-day. This gave us an invaluable insight into the requirements of staff and residents, which in turn enabled us to maximise the design abilities to achieve the best possible living conditions. A garden room located in between the two bedroom wings has
patio doors that open out into the landscaped garden. Bedrooms have either a protected view over the garden between them or beautiful views of the Kilpatrick Hills. Materials were carefully chosen. Traditional roof tiles, render, timber windows and timber cladding means that the overall impact is that of a domestic non-institutional building. We prepared interior design studies with Erskine Hospital, to ensure the materials and colours were appropriate for the people actually using the building.

Project Description: The project took the chaotic interior dominated by branded advertising and simplified it to create a more clinical feel, a more efficient pharmacy working area and a consulting room to attend to patients We took advantage of the prominent corner site, using good lighting and opening up the shop front area. The client is a local pharmacist, providing a service to the community and the project was delivered whilst the pharmacy was open to customers. It therefore required careful planning and programming. The exteriors required significant discussion with Glasgow City Council Design and Heritage as the pharmacy is within a conservation area. We worked with the client using 3D drawings and flythrough to investigate all possible options and worked with the shop-fitters before installation to check working spaces, storage areas and buildability of the reassembled the pharmacy interior.

Approach to Sustainable Design We believe in credible sustainability and have developed a standardised office structure, the success of which is benchmarked and measured as part of our quality management system.
We also have experience with Energy Performance Certificates, Code for Sustainable Homes, EcoHomes, Building for Life and achieving Silver and Gold Levels of Scottish Building Standards.
Each building is unique and only through a thorough understanding and interrogation of these processes can we determine the best fit sustainability solution. There are a number of key practical attributes that we believe are essential to delivering credible and appropriate sustainable design:
Essential to the success in third party benchmarking is early dialogue incorporating the whole team. This identifies opportunities and weaknesses and assigns responsibilities for evidence generation.

Project Planning, Information Flow & Risk Control We believe all projects, regardless of procurement method, should use the positive, key principles of partnering to deliver higher quality design and build for the client’s budget. We frequently use a partnering type approach to identify key programme milestones. This allows us to work with a main contractor to build a programme that suits sub-contractors, resourcing schedules and information delivery. These processes also ensure that key sign off points are identified and can be actioned by the participant. This type of approach also allows value for money to be achieved through an iterative process of dialogue on design intent and preferred materials. The aim of this dialogue is to build in value throughout the process and eliminate the need for value engineering exercises. Our advice is always to meet early with statutory consultees. This quickly identifies any risks associated with statutory consents. It also builds strong working relationships with the planning and warrant officers which can prove invaluable in the design process. The office is experienced in working with management documents and participating in risk workshops. This
• • • • • • • • • 46
allows us to be active participants in the process and understand the nature of identified risks and the steps required to eliminate risk. We also have considerable experience working with community groups. This gives us insight into how to draw out coherent and reliable briefing data as well as managing community expectation. This allows the participant comfort that the community’s needs are adequately reflected in the design whilst controlling the process and limiting exposure to risk. We have significant experience acting as design team lead. Over the past 20 years the office has been responsible for ensuring the successful delivery of projects in the role of contract administrator and design team lead. We have a sharp focus on the co-ordination of subconsultant information and activities to ensure programme delivery is achieved. We are also well connected within the industry and have strong working relationships with a variety of specialist sub consultants from fire and acoustic engineers to arts consultants, educationalists, ecologists, BREEAM advisors and business case advisors.
Partnering approach to identify key programme milestones. Proactive and engaged team members. Early consultation with statutory consultees. Early identification of preferred materials. Liaise with contractor to build a programme that suits sub-contractors and information delivery. Identify and ensure key sign off points are actioned by Stakeholders. Experience working with risk management procedures and participating in workshops. Focus on co-ordination of sub-consultant information and activities. Experience working with cloud based document management systems such as 4P, Buzzsaw and Conject.

Quality Controls We are accredited to BS EN ISO9001:2008 Quality Management Systems. We use our QM system as an active tool for structured design, production and construction information review at all key project stages. To ensure this is delivered, the office employs a dedicated QM Manager who audits the following:Structured Design and Technical Quality Reviews design overseen day-to-day ‘on the board’ by project director, monitored at formal design and technical review meetings and key project sign-off stages. Reviews by the senior management team and project team staff but open to all. This maximises design and technical quality and ensures ‘whole office’ experience informs/supports all projects. Reviews held post value engineering exercises. Feedback from these reviews are recorded in pro-formas and saved against each project. Project Plans - are completed for every project to determine project objectives, critical information and milestones. Design Development - proposals amended and rereviewed incorporating review responses. Client Feedback – we formally request client feedback at key project stages to ensure that a high quality service is being delivered. It also provides the opportunity to identify and remedy any issues quickly. Data Management - Archetype Document Management System used office wide to ensure effective project communication, filing, reporting and contract recording consistency. This system logs and records all emails, documents, meeting minutes, contacts, letters and timesheets.
Building Information Management Protocols and Execution Plans - ensures integrated approach across all design disciplines including file sharing formats, levels of detail, model structures for interoperability. Incorporated into our quality system. We have taken steps to become early adopters of BIM. These systems provide real benefits for our clients, including: • Rapid scheduling/ tracking of data/floor areas/ room properties • Cross-referenced NBS Specification • Efficiency savings in change management • Modelling for fire engineering/energy performance • Design audit - models interrogate design information provided by others • Visualisation - using 3DS Max to communicate building more clearly to clients • Improved production times and reliability The office is extremely proficient in the use of a wide variety of technical design standards. On NHS projects we have a record of all current guidance documents and a library of SHTMs, SHPNs, HBNs and other documents such as EnCO2de. On education projects we are well versed in Government initiatives such Scotland’s Schools for the Future, and have a library of local government design guidance. We have a presence on the Building Standards Division Working Group which reviews suggested changes to the technical standards before they are put forward for statutory consultation and approval by ministers. This gives us an insight into upcoming changes which may have an impact on our project work.
• We have ISO9001:2008 accreditation. • A senior team member is appointed as office quality manager. • Project plans are completed for every project to determine project objectives, critical information and milestones. • Internal reviews are regularly held and recorded. • Archetype systems record and log all correspondence and project documents. • Office design standards are applied to CAD and BIM processes. • Strong experience in the sector using NHS technical guidance. • A Experience with AEDET + NDAP. • Projects feature as industry exemplars. 48

Value for Money We are able to offer a diverse range of skill sets that provides significant value for money on any project: Generating Site Development Options Appraisal - using our experience, working with the team we will identify key cost/ operational opportunities and consequences of each site option Layout Development and Adjacencies – we will consider options for flexible accommodation use, quantifying potential area savings and operational benefits for each option, allowing the client to prioritise space-use and accommodation allowances. Materials and Components - best value better buying - our detailed knowledge of current market and work for public sector clients means we are well placed to identify appropriate solutions, taking account of client maintenance needs to produce buildings which are highly sustainable, and architecturally appropriate within defined budget. Employment – during the process of some of our major schools projects we have been able to create graduate roles within the company. We would be delighted to offer this opportunity again. Exemplar design using simplicity of construction, avoiding over-elaborate, complex forms and building detailing - using our design skills, proportion, scale and articulation to create architecture which is appropriate. Inclusion of Art - we have a successful track record of the inclusion of art within the fabric of our buildings. We promote
and lead this process and have the skills to ensure that artists are selected, funding secured and the art implemented under various procurement methods. Research and Development - to support this aim we have inhouse Research Capability and work regularly with academia on practice based research and with government on policy-based projects. We give planning policy advice to local authorities and our work has been published as exemplars in Government best practice advice on design. We are completing research that will steer future regulation in indoor air quality and designing for an aging population. Interior Design Services - we can offer high quality, in-house interior design services. Community Engagement - many of our previous projects have been based upon community involvement in the design process; because of this we have developed specific tools, skills and techniques which we will use to positively involve local people in the design and development of new facilities. In order to have a meaningful discussion about the proposed development with the local community, they need to understand the brief and development constraints, and to be able to enter into the decision making process with an understanding of what is achievable within the budget available. We are skilled at explaining all of these development factors using rapid sketches, 3D models, computer imaging, diagrams and illustrations.
