Barbara Weiss design offers complementary medicine


Barbara Weiss Architects has completed the extensive refurbishment of a redundant Nineties’ office block, turning it into the new Wokingham Medical Centre in Berkshire, thought to be one of the largest in the UK.

The building is now what is believed to be the largest single-site GP practice in the UK. The 1,600 sq m NHS building provides new facilities for up to 16 GPs and five nurses, along with a new pharmacy and flexible medical suite. BWA also extended the existing building and added a penthouse conference room plus a suite of consulting areas, which features bespoke joinery.

Due to the variation in Wokingham's historic building styles the challenge for BWA was to design the centre so that it was appropriate to its architecture and context in its choice of materials and appearance.

The centre, completed on site last year, is now fully operational, and is predicted to cater for an additional 9,000-10,000 new patients once some 4,000 new homes are built in the area.
