BUILDING TYPE:
Health service buildings

A brick wall running the entire breadth of the site conceals the health centre, which is reached through an arched gateway and inner court. Shaped like a H, the building houses a number of surgeries and medical services. lts seemingly oversized columns fix the rhythm of the facades and consist of aluminium-dressed steel I-beams. A small glazed cylinder serves as a children's play room.
