1930s built scheme listed at garde II*
Hammersmith and Fulham council has granted permission for plans to turn a former hospital in west London built in the 1930s into more than 100 homes.
The scheme at the grade II*-listed former Ravenscourt Park Hospital will see it turned into 140 homes, a 65-bed care home and community space.
Developer TT Group said the proposals include the restoration of the hospital’s four original red brick blocks, regarded as notable examples of early modernist-influenced design.
The scheme, designed by SPPARC, retains key features such as the elevated glass bridges and semi-circular welded steel sun balconies.
The buildings were originally designed by Scottish architect Thomas S. Tait and opened in 1933 as the Royal Masonic Hospital, established to provide low-cost medical treatment for Freemasons and their families.
The hospital operated independently for over 60 years before closing in 1994. It briefly reopened as an NHS facility in 2002 but closed permanently four years later.
