Haven House

What We Created

This project was for a children’s charity, which appointed Clear's London Architects to create a new Holistic Care Centre based on funds from a Department of Health grant that the practice assisted in achieving.

The new Holistic Care Centre needed to be linked to an existing listed building, enabling the children's hospice to provide a broader range of specialist services to an increasing number of local life-limited children.

The new structure, annexed to the hospice’s existing listed building, was to provide much needed consultation rooms, flexible lecture/teaching spaces, a music therapy room (supplied by the Amy Winehouse Foundation), a new reception area and further office facilities.

The annexe was created with a sense of real achievement in establishing such a modern architectural building, but also in understanding the significance of the building in providing improved facilities for the children and their families.
