Project Overview
Set in a conservation area in the historic town of Shipston-on-Stour was just one of the challenges ONE’s multidisciplinary team needed to navigate in delivering this exciting transformational project. Other considerations and site constraints which were overcome, with no compromise on the health provision being provided to the public, included asbestos, the site being in flood zone one, drainage easements and overland flood paths as well as a significant sloping topography.
Through a series of collaborative internal multidisciplinary workshops and frequent meetings with the client, ONE produced a range of options that would achieve the clients’ requirements. The design team then developed a fully integrated concept scheme that accommodated all the required inpatient and outpatient services, landscaped gardens for general community use.The concept scheme enabled the client to have confidence in the project and following business case approval, the design was further developed.
The final design adheres to the most innovative care delivery models, where patients do not necessarily visit the Wellbeing Hub only when they have an appointment but use the facility and its gardens as a community space, allowing for a more informal interaction with health specialists. The site’s potential is being fully maximised, for example, by identifying the river as an asset with access to the riverfront being provided to the community, views of the river to enhance patient experience as well as utilising the river’s water to provide heat.

I'm so glad we went for ONE on this project as you are a great team to work with. Always professional in approach to what they do, I would recommend in an instance to any Trust they should consider using ONE Creative for their projects, be it large or small.
