The judges were hugely impressed with Penoyre & Prasad’s submission for a sector which they described as very difficult to work in due to the constraints. Despite this, the practice has managed to produce interesting architecture, but above all, it “‘demonstrated how crucial excellent design is if we are to produce effective health buildings”.
Over the past year, Penoyre & Prasad has completed a range of projects, from the Richard Desmond Children’s Eye Centre in central London to the Heart of Hounslow Centre for Health, west London, one of the largest primary care centres in Britain.
The judges said: “These are buildings which engage with the city. They also have a sense of fun and lift the spirits. It is hugely refreshing to see building of this quality in this sector. NHS, please take note!”
Also shortlisted: Avanti Architects, MAAP Architects, Nightingale Associates and RTKL-UK.
