The site has the benefit of many mature trees, and great care has been taken in the design of this building to preserve these. Car parking, is split up amongst the trees in order to lessen its impact on the site.

The new Monifieth medical centre has been designed with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. Timber frame construction was used and natural daylight and ventilation has been brought into all areas of the building, primarily by the use of a shallow plan, and the introduction of high ceilinged spaces allowing passive stack ventilation.

As well as creating a comfortable environment for the building users this will, in conjunction with the use of double glazing and high levels of insulation, ensure that the running costs of the building are kept to a minimum.
