Moorfields Eye Hospital Entrance, London EC1

Sonnemann Toon Architects won an invited competition set by the Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust which aimed to improve patient access into their existing facility on City Road. The scheme developed around the concept of making the entrance as visible as possible and improved the environment for both patients and staff internally. The eye catching illuminated stainless steel canopy stretches out from the new main entrance, acting as a sign post forging a link between the old and new receptions.

Internally a series of lightless cellular offices have been converted into a double height waiting hall providing staff and patients with an environment which is both light and spacious.
