Homes for the dying
The hospice movement as we know it today was founded in Britain by Dame Cicely Saunders in the 1950s.
‘The body has a wisdom of its own and will help the strong instinct to fight for life to change into an active kind of acceptance that may never be expressed in words’. - 1964 paper in Nursing Mirror, describing for the first time the key elements of what came to be viewed as ‘total pain’.
Hospice by the Clyde
- History of the Hospice Movement
Hospice (Latin hospes, referring both to guests and hosts) both a type and a philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient’s symptoms: physical, emotional, spiritual. Hospices and palliative care have developed in different ways, appropriate to the needs of patient and family - inpatient care, home care, day care and hospital services.

Walking through Govan there is a real Sense of Loss, the area, although geographically well located is Disconnection from the rest of the city. The urban fabric has a patchwork quality with buildings of interest lost in a sea of poor quality housing, parking expanses, empty lots and winding foot paths. It’s shipping heritage is only guessed at and the Graving Docks, fenced in, are discovered with surprise. The connection to the river has been lost, with little views and little life to be found. The hospice must be part of larger effort to re-solidify Govan’s urban identity.

Before the City Improvement Trust’s slum demolition, Govan had a traditional tenemental form. Its fabric was denser, more structured and more readable than present day. A regular ferry links Govan to Partick and the West End Although the Clyde’s edge is predominantly industrial, a public park and views to the river have been arranged. The warehouses hug the Govan Old Parish’s church’s grave yard wall, no space is wasted.

a water front site is best to emphasise Govan’s main landscape feature and utilise water’s therapeutic nature. The Graving Docks are a striking site but should be transformed into a public park celebrating Govan’s ship building heritage for this reason they are not appropriate for a private building. The hospice should be part of a greater regeneration program and help shape Govan’s urban fabric. The site should be easily accessible but away from the city’s hustle and bustle to allow a sense of retreat.

The site selected benefits from great views across the Clyde, it is easily accessible, right off the main artery of Govan Road. Whilst accessible, it benefits from the physical and spiritual protection of Govan’s Old Parish Church. Some existing beneficial buildings give context to an otherwise diminished and patchwork urban fabric.

Dominent Block Form
After the downfall of its shipbuilding industry and the large scale demolitions of the 1960s-70s, Govan lost 80% of its population in under 50 years. It is paramount to increase the housing density in this area and to remember and celebrate Govan’s rich past. Combining Govan’s specific long tenemental forms with today’s understanding of the importance of walkability and accessibility, this masterplan aims to reconnect Govan to its past whilst creating a contemporary, dense, and walkable new waterfront neighbourhood.

- masterplan: Block form study
Taina Lund-Ricard - y4 - 201046888
The Graving Docks become a large public park celebrating Govan and Glasgow’s shipbuilding heritage. The park becomes a destination for the pedestrianised waterfront. Coherent street furniture and ground detailing create a sense of unity along the waterfront. Stages are shaped into the water edge for improvised summer night dancing, acting or hanging out. The docks are reinstated for bar and restaurant barges. A new pedestrian bridge re-connects Govan to Partick, whilst a new official market place looking onto the Clyde sits above a large underground parking. A selection of dense and varied housing types, with affordable social housing mixed with private housing. Visitors of the Transport museum are encouraged to park in Govan and spend time along its water edge. Govan becomes a destination.

ARK CENTER FOR PALLATIVE CARE Netherlands
Mid-rise urban hospice, ten residents, spans over two floors
14 private inpatient rooms provided with direct access to the outdoors. southern orientation, views to a pond and forest.
Note-worthy project for how it seamlessly blends into the urban fabric of its neighbourhood, creating a sense of belonging within the community. This is something I’ve tried to create with the Hospice by the Clyde (HBTC).
This project stressed to me the importance of being able to step out of your bedroom into nature. The meditation space faces inwards. Views or no views to be reflected upon.
Kuria’s residential doorway creates a soft edged transition with plants and steps. Of course the building had to be wheelchair accessible which led to designing HBTC without steps, fully on the ground floor. The entrance courtyard acts as a transition between the street and the hospice.
ST LEONARD’S HOSPICE York, UK Mixture of private and four bed rooms. The bedrooms wrap around the central core containing all the social activities. HBTC acts in a similar way by giving a sense of depth to the bedroom facade, thick walls and patio spaces carved out.
HTBC aims to become an integral part of Govan’s community by recalling its industrial past and acting as a restrained landmark along a new opening to the Clyde. In an urban environment, it’s important to reduce to the minimum noise induced stress. Rooms must be off the street, looking onto gardens or courtyards. All the main living spaces have views to different gardens or to the soothing view of the river. Buffer zones have been put in place through the careful position of services and courtyards, thickened walls and sound soak systems.

A residentially scaled building with expressive exterior balconies which imbue the facade with scale and shadow. Wall trellises allow vegetation to line the exterior walls, effectively bringing nature to every level.
Taina Lund-Ricard - y4 - 201046888 AHI HOSPICE, Aichi Prefecture, Japan Emphasis on “MA� The space in between. A concept that led me to design HBTC with a celebration of thresholds. Places to sit and pause, places to contemplate, small knocks designed into the thickness of the wall, to be part of the activity without actively participating. But also places to eat and socialise such as the outdoor and covered dining area and the bedroom patios.
Hospice by the Clyde
The bedrooms at Ahi Hospice are flexible, adaptable, spaces that invite personalisation on the part of the patients and family member. In HBTC, every component of the bedrooms are moveable, interchangeable. More importantly, single bedrooms can transform into double bedrooms with the sliding of a partition: offering two necessary key components to the young adults: privacy and opportunities to socialise.

Taina Lund-Ricard - y4 - 201046888 SEIREI - MIKATAGAHARA HOSPITAL HOSPICE Japan
Two central landscaped courtyards. Main entrance is minimalist yet human scaled with a patterned floor surface. Corridors are single loaded to allow natural daylight and views to the courtyard. Seirei Hospice was of great inspiration to HBTC, corridors transformed from mere means of movement to places with views. Stepping out into a hallway is transformed into stepping out into the garden. The staggered entrances to the bedrooms establish a residential scale. This was another source of inspiration for HBTC, each bedroom has its own entryway, with a bench to sit or place a heavy bag, creating an extra threshold between the very private bedroom and the semi-public corridor. Gas and oxygen outlets are concealed within the wood cabinet, located on the headboard wall of each room. This is a successful way to retain the necessary medical equipment without losing the residential feel of the bedroom and was also implemented in my design’s bedrooms.
Hospice by the Clyde

Seirei hospice is equipped with heat pumps, a floor based heating system and an ozone air purification system. A bamboo flooring is used for its high conductivity to effectively distribute heat throughout the rooms. Every lighting is indirect lighting: reflective cove ceiling fixtures, wall sconces, task ambient fixtures... On an upper level the meditation space opens onto a landscaped roof terrace. In HBTC the meditation space, or sanctuary also opens on a special and distinct landscape feature: the Clyde.
SUN HEALTH HOSPICE Arizona, USA Nurses station has a charting counter with a sink for regular hand washing. Ample storage and open work space. A large picture window allows visual surveillance of the courtyard and atrium. In HBTC, the nurses station has similar qualities. Open work space, large walk-in and lockable storage. the space is glazed, allowing views towards all bedrooms while retaining an element of sound privacy.
HOSPICE LAGRANGE Georgia, USA Trellis planted with clematis and jasmine, benches, bird feeders, wind chimes and planting beds are all small features that lead to an attractive garden, inviting inpatients to occupy the space. Circulation paths are enlivened with window seats and visual connections to social activity spaces. In HBTC the open plan is controlled by carefully placed service units and closed spaces which allow the alteration of views to the large, illuminated social activity spaces and calm, darker circulation spaces with views to nature and opportunities to pause out of the way. Like in Hospice Lagrange, HBTC has fold out beds in every bedroom to allow visiting friends and family to stay near by.

Study of the nurse station locations in relation to the bedrooms and their views in a variety of hospices. Conclusions drawn: Must have an overall view of the area, located at equidistant length of furthest bedrooms. Must create a functional, private but also enjoyable space to be for the nurses, with views to nature and/or general social activities.

TADAO ANDO - Church on the Water This was a great source of inspiration for HBTC’s Sanctuary. Unlike the Church, the front glass panel does not slide to literally open up the space to nature, but the view to nature is emphasised by a slight angle in the floor and a low ceiling height.

Most hospices are run through religious bodies or as units within larger hospitals. Hospice by the Clyde aims to become a secular building, anchored at the centre of Govan, an integral part of the community. Rehabilitation, home care and end of life care are all found within this facility. Social exchange is encouraged to help these young inpatients and their family and friends to tackle this difficult stage of life. The project is aimed towards young adults, between the ages of 16 and 23, a group often ignored in the dialogue regarding terminal care facilities. The support needed is different from that offered to children or the elderly. This age group understands the concept of death but often struggles to accept it as inevitable. A teenager’s emotional difficulties stems from the strong desire for independence whilst not quite having the emotional, financial or physical aims to do so. In the case of terminal illness, this is truer than ever:
Hospice by the Clyde
- Brief: Manifesto
the young adult strives for a sense of independence, to make something of their limited life but they also need the support of their family and more than anything: their friends. The Hospice by the Clyde offers both the privacy and space needed for self expression but also ample ways to socialise and create bonds with others in similar situations. The hospice catters to calm reflective moments as well as loud hectic behaviours that young adults are well known for. The primary concern for most terminally ill patients remains proximity and ease of access for their visiting family and friends, a central location with excellent communications was prioritised. The site was chosen to allow an easy and safe access from Govan’s town centre whilst creating a sense of retreat as soon as one steps beyond the perimeter wall with views to the Clyde and to a beautifully sculpted, evergreen and occasionally wild landscape.
Taina Lund-Ricard - y4 - 201046888
Hospice: A place of life and death
The entire building is designed on one level so that any part of it, both inside and out, is seamlessly accessible by the able, wheelchair users or bed ridden inpatients. In a simple, open plan building, thresholds are created, services used as buffer zones from one active social place to quiet private walkways. The Hospice by the Clyde aims to support and nurture all of its users. Four groups have been identified: The inpatients Those who come for respite, to stay a few days, a week or as their last resting place. These young adults, whose lives have been so drastically changed by illness still seek the same pleasures than their fit counterparts. The hospice creates a multitude of opportunities for socialising or for contemplative meditation. A central social core encourages social exchange but small nooks are located off the main spaces to allow a discrete place for emotional overload or to observe. Instead of twins or dorms, individual bedrooms were found necessary as privacy is one of the key desires of any young adult. That said, if they wish to socialise, they can easily slide open a partition to transform two rooms into one, or step out into the covered patio to gaze at the stars over the Clyde with their next door neighbour. There again, the choice to socialise is theirs, they can step straight out of their room without traversing the patio if they do not wish to interact with those present. A pull out bed makes room for friends and family wishing to stay over night with the inpatient. A place of further escape is also created outside of the building, where the young adults can play loud music, watch movies or play video games.
Hospice by the Clyde
-Brief: Project Overview
Day visitors Those attending classes, medical or psychological help or simply visiting a friend who’s staying. The bulk of these people will only move through the medical block where they can enjoy views to the garden. The staff The building must cater to the backbone of any hospice: the staff. The non clinical staff’s office has a direct view to the entry courtyard, allowing unconscious surveillance of people’s movement. A nurse station with ample medical storage is located at the centre of the ten bedrooms, allowing a constant overview of people’s movement. So that a nurse doesn’t need to leave the inpatient for longueur than necessary to access linen, basic medical supplies, etc, lockable storage is supplied outside each of the bedrooms. Family and friends of the dead Although the occurrence of someone dying in the hospice is rare (only three a year are expected), the pain associated to it has to be carefully managed. When an inpatient dies, the nurse prepares the body in the bedroom and then wheels them down the corridor straight to the viewing room, this allows minimal visibility to those occupying the social block and no visibility to day visitors in the medical block. The viewing room is meant to act as a natural womb. The space is within nature, within a thick wall, effectively cutting the place from its context, giving respite to those whose lives have been deeply altered. bamboo shoots aiming for the sky, surround the mourners, the benches lay bellow the earth level, giving both a sense of lightness and containment. The sanctuary opens up to the Clyde.

ARRIVAL SPACE
The first threshold is a large courtyard that all users traverse, inpatients and their visitors, day users, staff and mourners. From there they are directed in the appropriate directions.
DINING
A commercial sized kitchen produces the three daily meals provided to inpatients, staff and visitors. Large tables are shared by all to encourage socialising and the creation of an encouraging community feel. A large outdoor table covered by an extension of the roof, invites outdoor eating, temperature permitting, even when Glasgow’s recurrent light drizzle is coming down.
Must give a sense of safety, protection. A connection to the community, a covered walkway or canopy. RECEPTION FOYER near front door but not within full view connected to the reception and admin offices as well as a-
Immediately upon entering the building, a reception is visible with places to sit amongst shelves of palliative literature, novels and comic books.
WAITING AREA comfortable, friendly, a library with documentations, where a cup of tea can be drunk. DAY ROOMS Must accommodate a large range of uses with moveable furniture. Storage units can double as furniture or partitions. Low walls, room to room windows, a tv with games. ACTIVITY ROOMS FOR YOUNG ADULTS Music: stereo system, electric piano, drum set, guitar etc.. Absorptive walls and ceiling materials, soothing colours, artwork, chair, sofa, tables... MULTI SENSORY ROOM fibre optic lighting, snoezelin machine, surround sound system, carpeted, soft and comfortable furniture, pillows. ART THERAPY ROOM Access to outdoor, near patient’s room.
Hospice by the Clyde
Social interaction and exchange, communal eating, flexible to allow various needs. KITCHEN Direct access to delivery and trash. A food prep station, an intermediate counter or alcove for coffee, snacks, juice and fruit. Residential grade kitchen to use when the main kitchen is closed.
Two main activity rooms are designed in different ways. The first acts as a barrier between the entrance and the main living spaces. Closed off and lit from the top, it is a place fit for all types of activities, relaxation, meditation, yoga. Physical activities can be enjoyed here, away from the eyes of others. Another room finds itself at the end of the bedroom walkway. There, away from the main space, surrounded by views to the garden and to the Clyde, shaded by trees, the young adults can play loud music, play video games and participate in other activities which could be overwhelming for some of the weaker inpatients. The same space can also be used as an art therapy room. The multi sensory room, placed in the medical block is an enclosed box, with plenty storage space, ready to be transformed at will.
BEDROOMS Should look and feel residential. 20-25% larger than typical hospital rooms. Social space and grieving space. Allow personalisation Easy access to outdoor and hallway Large built in shelving, easy to access. Moveable partition to allow change in room, divide space in two. Japanese shoji screen are a good option and shouldn’t be more than 2m high and less than 3cm thick. Allow overnight accommodation for family and friends, near but with a possibility for separation. A view to nature. At the start of illness, people crave light but towards death, it is darkness that is needed.
- Brief: room requirements
When people wish to eat outside of the planned hours, they are free to use the residential grade kitchen. Families can cook together if they so wish. A large counter top broken into two levels, one appropriate for standing and one for wheelchair users, makes room for cooking classes. In the bedrooms a direct view from the bed to the garden and Clyde is created. the bed can be wheeled outside if the patient to weak to move on their own. Drapes allow to shut out all light. The view being north facing, a roof change allows south light to flood in and helps create a sense of a second living space. A pull out couch can become a bed for visitors. A sliding wall partition can transform two single bedrooms into one double bedroom. A covered patio shared between two bedrooms creates an opportunity to be outside, looking out to the Clyde and the stars (or the clouds). Medical equipment is hid behind the head board.

MEDITATION SPACE or SANCTUARY
The sanctuary is a much more formal space, inspired by Tadao Ando’s church on the water, it is a simple concrete box with wooden benches, softened by pillows. A very low ceiling and a slightly angled floor compresses the space out into the view of the Clyde.
TRANSITIONAL SPACES
The hospice is a continuous serie of transitional spaces. Each space carefully articulated to create obstruction or views to spaces beyond. A large entry courtyard becomes a first place of rest past the activity of Govan’s centre.
Non denominational, intimate and secure indoor/outdoor continuum. visual and physical access to the garden. GRIEVING ROOM or VIEWING ROOM Discreet and comforting
The viewing room is a world onto itself. With the death of a loved one, one of the most infuriating and confusing aspect is that the rest of the world does not stop with that death. The viewing room seeks to offer that pause in time, a disconnection from the rest of the building and indeed from the entire world. Buried bellow the level of earth from which bamboo shoots towards the sky, the minimalist space contains the user within thick walls with only plant and sky to look at, stripped of all excess.
Variety of circulation, short corridors and paths with window seats, alcoves, transitions, ceiling and floor changes in colour and pattern. Unique artwork outside the rooms with seats or a chair, a plant or mementos to allow immediate understanding of each room’s identity. Semi private places are opportunities for retreat and regeneration Nodes and pockets or ends of halls.
Small nooks are created within the thickness of the walls to shape a bench with a view or out of view. The entrance to the bedroom is pushed back, breaking it off the corridor. The transition to the garden is again extended by the thickness of the wall or the covered patio acting as an outside/outside space.

The spatial development of the project has been carried out through research into the topic of palliative care. Precedents from around the world have been studied to draw conclusions of the most successful spatial configurations and to inspire the overall design of the building. Each spaces were analysed to understand what type of light and views were required, wether they should be private or public and how they should articulate together to create a more agreeable sense of place.

The programme is divided into clear separate areas, all stemming from a central courtyard. Different openings are created to cater for the different users. the main entrance is for the hospice users, inpatients and day visitors . A smaller entrance leads to the family flat. Another entrance, hidden behind the courtyard tree acts as a discreet direct access to the viewing room and sanctuary, giving people in mourning the necessary privacy. #VJMEJOH BDDFTT 4UBGG 1VCMJD 5IFO &NFSHFODZ WFIJDVMF PS IFBSTF

Parking units are supplied in very close proximity to the building with the awareness that a large underground parking lot is only a block away and is sufficient for non emergency visitors and staff. The space in front of the entry courtyard is pedestrianised as part of the water front redevelopment effort, it also provides a safe street space for the hospice users. Access for emergency vehicles or the hearse is accommodated further onto the pedestrianised area. This was deemed acceptable as the access will not be required often.

The building’s plant room (5% of the building’s total surface) is fully and easily accessible from the outside. The refuge store is by the staff entrance, near the medical block to limit risks of contamination with the rest of the building. A sliding door allows a hearse to enter within the perimeter of the building to discretely and safely remove the body. 3FGFSFODJOH IJTUPSZ UISPVHI GPSN

The relationship between end of life care and the grieving process was a key consideration of the project. The viewing room was kept as a central space to the plan during much of the developmental process to prevent the very painful process of death to become an afterthought. The viewing room as an enclosed space quickly developed and its relationship to the Sanctuary was played with at length. Eventually these spaces were moved away from the main activity spaces to allow a more sensitive journey for both the body and the mourners. A separate entrance is created from the entry courtyard to allow family and friends of the deceased to access these key spaces without having to deal with the liveliness of the main social core.
Hospice by the Clyde
The viewing room is a world onto itself. With the death of a loved one, one of the most infuriating and confusing aspect is watching the rest of the world keeping on moving whilst our own seems to have stopped. The viewing room seeks to offer that pause in time, a disconnection from the rest of the building and indeed from the entire world. Buried bellow the level of earth from which bamboo shoots towards the sky, the minimalist space contains the user within thick walls with only plants, the sky and their loved ones to look at, stripped of all excess. The sanctuary is a much more formal space, inspired by Tadao Ando’s church on the water, it is a simple concrete box with wooden benches, softened by pillows. A very low ceiling and a slightly angled floor compresses the space out into the view of the Clyde.

Pitched roofs allow easy drainage of rainwater and carry Glasgow’s occasional snow loads. A linear, centralised building massing keeps the social block warm. Operable windows and overhangs creates numerous opportunities for immediate comfort. Inpatients suffering from heat flushes can step out, protected from any rain, to allow themselves to cool down. ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY The building has a simple environmental strategy that focuses on high levels of insulation and airtightness, mechanical ventilation and heat recovery as well as breathing wall technology which use heat escaping through external walls to pre-warm incoming air. Daylighting is optimised. Double glazing is used throughout the building. The North/South exposures are tempered to balance heat gain/loss rations.
