The principles underpinning the design of Bayswater Early Years Hub “Sunflower” originated from the client vision and through a collaborative approach involving the client, key stakeholders and our practice. The result was a shared vision to create a building which minimises human impact on the environment with an eco-centric design with the user experience and the surrounding environment being the key drivers for the built space.
Architecture is seeing birth and making life projects happen. And if so, this is undoubtedly an excellent example. An open space, ready to receive such important areas as physical rehabilitation, women’s health, baby’s health, family health, well-being and nutrition. These are some of the areas that combined with a simple and committed working spirit, direct and without prejudice make the image of this clinic.
The key concepts for the development of this clinic begin with neutrality and minimalism (technical floors, white walls and clean lines), combined with the warmth of the reception (woods and fabrics) and the workforce (ropes), without forgetting that we are an integral part of everything which is natural (stone and plants).
– V&V is a neighborhood Gym and Health Bar located in the heart of Beirut. The space occupies the Ground floor and basement area of a longstanding building situated along one of Badaro District’s beautiful calm residential streets.
– The approach was to create a space for people to hangout, workout and be part of a healthy neighborhood lifestyle. Hence, the idea of bringing the outside in, spatially and visually; all the way from the terrace to the ground floor interior and down to the basement.
– The street’s extension to the space is first achieved through the main façade; it spreads through the whole space and is 22 meters long, it is a dominant feature in the design. Folding black powder coated steel framed glass doors open up fully, merging the outside with the inside, inviting people in; even when closed, visual communication is achieved through the see-through facade.

Sonraki Architecture and Design Ltd has designed and built a new contemporary oncology clinic for Chemothermia Oncology Center in Istanbul.
Chemothermia’s new clinic in Istanbul breakaway from the traditional healthcare environment and introduce fresh and warm clinic atmosphere that focuses on the well being of healthcare professionals, patients and guests.
New center is designed for patients to be in high standard healthcare center and stay in comfort like their home during long treatment process.
Three prominent Memphis orthopedic practices joined forces to offer a more comprehensive and integrated experience for patients. The orthopedic practices had a vision for a new Bartlett, Tennessee office that would be convenient to their collective patients, with the ability to offer clinic, x-ray, physical therapy, and MRI services all under one roof.
Integrated into the local healthcare community and linked to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, this project is a prototype for an independent, self-sustaining ambulatory surgical facility in Kyabirwa, a rural village near the equator in Uganda. It is conceived as a replicable prototype facility for other resource poor areas, proof that surgery can be provided in inexpensive uncomplicated facilities for the five billion people in the world who lack any form of safe or affordable surgery.
The building is understood as a “pure box” in which health and sanitary services can be developed. The façades are made of prefaricated white concrete pieces that form a translucid skin for the building.
The construction of this healthcare center was postponed for some years until 2013, when the project had to be adapted, as initially it was designed to place other facilities of the Government of Catalonia. The program of the building is organized on four floors: two above ground level, that correspond to the main and more public program of the health care center, and two basement floors, the B-1 destined to technical premises and personnel use and the B-2 to parking. The new primary health care center has a total of 22 consultation rooms (one double), a multipurpose area with four care points and an area of continuous attention with 4 care boxes. There is also an area for offices, area for health education, storage and staffing area.
The rest of the site is considered as a landscaped area with a gentle slope towards the building without getting in touch, thus generating an English patio in order to ventilate the two basement floors naturally.
This project weaves the building into the landscape – The essence of a place that aims to create an atmosphere of harmony between nature and people.
The design is based on an orchard meadow typical for the region.
Three narrow, elongated structures are set into the arena-like topography in such a way that the buildings sometimes appear to hover over or be embedded into the terrain. The landscape flows through the building. Atria reflecting the planted orchard meadow underline this creative objective.
Views of the Schöckl mountain and surrounding hilly forests and meadows are the primary influence for the space allocation plan at Josefhof. The entrance area, dining rooms and bar offer a view towards the south and north. The underlying structures are staggered so that the roofs are level with the heel of the parapet of the building above. Between the structures, the natural topography of the landscape is allowed to continue.
