Cygnet Hospital, Wyke

Client Cygnet Healthcare

Description This existing independent hospital provides accommodation for 44 no. patients.  Tangram were able to provide proposals to create a new extension at basement, ground and first floors which has added 9 no. new bedrooms to the site. The spacious bedrooms and en-suites provided allowed for DDA compliant access and further integrated ceiling hoists from bed to en-suite at ground floor. Additionally new offices and refurbished therapies were provided.

Innovations & Added Value Given the sites locaiton within the Lower Wyke Conservation Area the proposal looked to utilise the materials of the existing building. The extension used local stone for the walls and slate for the roof. The fenestration and details such as the steeply pitched roof and gable end copings also looked to mimic the existing, generally reflecting the accepted vernacular. The extension itself was constructed from timber frame which allowed for an accelerated programme.
