NORD Architecture : Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow
NORD told e-architect their response to the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice brief is to turn to the familiar image of ‘the home’ for clues as to how we might consider an appropriate but inspiring piece of architecture. NORD envision a family of domestic scale spaces with carefully placed windows allowing visual and physical access to the outside at all times, be it a private courtyard or surrounding landscape context. 26 Jul 2011
