HEALTHCARE PROJECT OF THE YEAR SHORTLIST
In the heart of Worcestershire, The Green at St Richard’s Hospice has been designed to provide a central courtyard at the heart of the hospice where patients, carers and their families can meet each other and relax. Working together with Speller Metcalfe and Associated Architects, Constructional Timber was tasked with the manufacture and supply of this amazing structure. The build utilises GL28h Spruce Glulam and was finished with a coat of Osmo 420 UV protection to provide enhanced resistance to weathering during the installation process.
