Breeze Hill Health Centre

Breeze Hill Health Centre is situated on a corner plot in Walton, Liverpool, that is dominated by a busy roundabout and an elevated dual carriageway.

The centre offers accommodation for three GP practices, podiatry, children’s services, orthoptists and a pharmacy. In response to a drive to shift service from secondary care into primary care it includes a large number of bookable clinical rooms to enable external hospital consultants to provide their services locally.

The design of the centre responds positively to this seemingly hostile environment and provides a landmark along the A5058 passing around Liverpool city centre. Cascading down Rice lane to reflect the changes in level of the plot, the building is arranged in two distinct wings facing towards the roundabout. A bright central hub space with a colourful organic shaped core forms the focal point of the centre, creating entrances from both the street and car park level.
