The Florence Institute Located on Mill Street in Toxteth,Liverpool, this historic but
neglected building stands as a
memorial of the work of Sir
Bernard Hall a former Mayer of
Liverpool and local business man.
He originally built it in memory ofhis daughter who tragically died at
a young age. It was designed as a
place of recreation and soon
became an institute for boys. It
served the young working and
unemployed in the area.Mill Street

My design will be influencedby the concept of free flowing
ribbon design and unravelling
spirals. These effects will
enable the space to flow
without any limits.
As the spiral opens it will embrace
and appreciate the space,
however the spirals can close in to
create privacy and enclosure
which is required for a GP practice.
This concept will create a sense of calm and tranquillity
which is needed for the space.

Ground Floor
The ground floor has purposely been designed
as an open plan space that incorporates
bringing the outside nature in to the building to
create a sense of wellness and appreciation of
our environment.
The layouts of the floors are clear and functional.
With the core being the entrance/ground floor,
routes are easy and logical with the GP and staff
rooms kept to one side. I aimed to keep my design
as open plan as possible but as a key requirement
to a Health Centre, it was important to maintain
comfortable and private spaces.
A caf is located on the ground floor that
opens outside to enable an inviting welcoming
open space.
Circular seating in the waiting area will create
a sense of community among the patients.

First Floor
A welcoming and comfortable atmosphere has been creatively
designed to provide healthcare with a difference and a refuge for
the local community to ease stress and enhance positive health.
The first floor contains three
mini operational rooms, a
seating/meeting area and a
storage room for GP/Nurses
equipment. The use of an
overhanging balcony across
the ground floor enhances the
open plan space and adds to
the relaxed atmosphere.
The Walnut flooring is accompanied
by calming colours such as apple
green that compliments the
surrounding nature pictures.

Exterior Views
This unique curvy exterior contradicts all the
characteristics that a typical medical centre has.
Its modern appearance creates interest and
encourages viewers to look beyond.
