To design the very best children’s hospitals, we think differently about creating nurturing environments for patients, families and staff. From the parents of premature babies, to children keen to explore their surroundings, to teenagers looking for more independence. Every experience is unique.

Patient safety is at the heart of every decision we make, and never more so than when we’re designing healthcare facilities for children. Our specialist teams integrate hygiene and infection control with secure-by-design principles and systems such as childproof fixtures and fittings, to protect patients, staff and families.

Children’s hospitals are highly-serviced, power-hungry facilities – with many young lives depending on the constant, reliable functioning of essential clinical systems and building services. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be sustainable and cost-effective to operate and maintain. As specialists in sustainable hospital design and healthcare engineering, we’ve delivered some of the world’s most energy and water-efficient hospitals.

Advances in pediatric care bring new hope for young patients and their families, and our teams draw on the latest available research to understand what makes a healing environment for children. By collaborating with young patients, we create inspiring, imaginative spaces from a child’s eye view, designed for a growing range of highly specialized equipment and smart building technologies.
