KTHC

Client Camden Primary Care Trust and James Wigg Practice
Value £10.1 Million
Status Completed 2008

Whilst an Associate at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Ben Gibson led the Stirling Prize shortlisted Kentish Town Health Centre project.

Housing a large GP practice, a wide range of community health services, office space, staff facilities, a library and meeting rooms, the building (and the process in which it was championed, procured, designed and delivered) has set new standards for the NHS. The project, initially won in a RIBA competition, was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2009.

A single-storey dark brick plinth holds two-storeys of crisp-white rendered overlapping volumes. A wide, internalised street runs the full length of the building, widening at its mid-point to create a triple-height, triple-aspect public room that focuses out onto a garden. Glazed circulation cores, bridges, voids and terraces intersect with the axial route of the internal street to stitch all levels together.
