Scope and content

Quantum Leap Project - The New Cancer Centre, involved a £90 million refurbishment of an exclusive hospital in 3-5 Devonshire Place, Mayfair. The main design scheme involved maximising natural daylight throughout the building by creating glazed atriums leading into the consultant's rooms, extension of lightwells to all building levels, and the extension of garden landscaping to the roof. The major major design intervention was the full height, top lit atrium which directly linked each consulting space, suite and associated waiting area.

The different functions of the building were developed around the existing building form, meaning that outpatient functions occupied lower levels and consulting rooms were relocated to the top of the building, reminiscent of traditional Harley Street suites.

Key attention was paid to a new ground level reception area with a generous reception desk, concierge and porter's office. This level also provided easy access to pharmacy and administrative hospital functions. An additional major design intervention was the full height, top lit atrium which directly linked each consulting space, suite and associated waiting area.
