South Tipperary General Hospital Ward Extension

The design philosophy was to design a modern and contemporary ward unit that creates an environment that is both pleasant and welcoming to all users, and provides all of the care and treatment facilities necessary for acutely ill patients from admission to discharge. The scheme incorporates excellent natural light and ventilation, with ample access and views to the natural landscaping surrounding the building. All patient rooms are situated on the perimeter of the building, looking outwards which provides exceptional daylighting opportunities within patient bedrooms and allows for pleasant views of the existing surrounding landscapes spaces, engendering a genuinely therapeutic environment.

OCMA believe the domestic-scale building, reduces the institutional feel and creates an architecture that is supportive and pleasant to both the patients and the staff, while complimenting the surrounding South Tipperary General Hospital accommodation across the site.
