Celebrating a legacy of excellence in hospice and healthcare design

Celebrating a legacy of excellence in hospice and healthcare design

As JDDK Architects join the Hospice UK National Conference 2024, we’re excited to share the release of our new healthcare brochure, now available for download. It offers a deep dive into our experience in hospice and supported living projects—an area we’ve been passionate about since the earliest days of our practice. 

From our earliest years as a practice, we have specialised in hospice and supported living projects, designing for some of the UK’s leading healthcare providers. We believe that the patients, families and staff of healthcare settings should be able to find a peaceful haven in these spaces, supporting their journey and giving them the best care experience possible. 

Since our first award-winning design for St Oswald’s Hospice in early 80’s, our practice has completed the design and construction of over 40 hospice projects and JDDK has become highly respected within the palliative care sector. 

Over the years the quality of our work has been reflected in over 100 architectural awards, including the RIBA Building of the Year Award (now the Stirling Prize) for St Oswald’s Hospice. We achieve this excellence in design by retaining an approach that has been highly successful in delivering design proposals which are imaginative, efficient, affordable and above all work well. 

Throughout the years our practice philosophy has remained constant: we believe that good architectural solutions can only emerge through a thorough understanding of our clients’ and building users’ needs and aspirations as well as the context in which the building is to sit. Across new developments to renovation projects, we work collaboratively with our clients to achieve exceptional results and create spaces that will be functional and comforting for years to come. 

If you are looking for an architectural practice to partner with for your next construction project, we would be delighted to speak with your team to see how we can achieve the results you need. 

In the meantime, download our new healthcare brochure to learn more about our work, philosophy, and achievements.
