A Less Clinical Approach to Healthcare Design

Ten years of experience in providing exciting and innovative solutions, as well as delivering the fast, efficient and competitive service that the modern client demands, has given JAMM Architects a singular ability to merge design creativity with fiscal practicality.

This has earned it the trust of some of the country’s most successful companies, including a number in the sports and leisure industry, such as Roko and LA Fitness, with its talented team of architects, interior designers and technologists all committed to complete customer satisfaction.

Although renowned within the sport and leisure world, JAMM is also increasingly sought after in other sectors, including healthcare. The practice was, for instance, appointed by Spire Healthcare to create an exceptional oncology suite within its existing Southampton Hospital. Spire is committed to delivering a high level of care to its patients and JAMM’s brief was to offer a cancer care facility where Spire could offer the best from the latest technologies and dedicated specialist teams in a caring and comfortable environment. The goal was to produce a less clinical approach to the provision of oncology.

The concept created by JAMM provided Spire with an oncology suite to complement the state of the art services supplied by the hospital. Spatially, the layout was designed around a curved central nurses’ station, thus creating a softened appearance flowing through the circulation and treatment areas.

The entrance area and reception was designed to offer a comforting, relaxing atmosphere with a contemporary feel. Rich, warm timbers were incorporated into the scheme along with ambient lighting. Every effort was made to achieve the best possible environment for the patient to make their visit as calming as possible.

JAMM believes that it is possible to create innovative architectural designs that transform its clients’ environments; leaving owners, employees, patients and visitors with not only a pleasant experience, but also nourished souls.

Whatever the project type, JAMM ensures that all its projects have a significant interior design input and like to make sure that both architecture and interior design is of a uniformly high standard. The practice has a very simple business philosophy: the client is always number one.

And this quality can be seen in ground-breaking design and an efficient, smooth project, with JAMM providing creative ideas (utilising space, light and design), workable solutions, and added value; the latter being fuelled by the practice’s high design values and its insistence on developing long-term relationships with high-quality suppliers that offer a superior range of materials.

Based in Leeds, but working throughout the length and breadth of the UK, although mainly around London and the M25 corridor and the South Coast, JAMM has the experience, talent and expertise to be able to turn both work and leisure environments into warm, welcoming place that promotes productivity and performance.

Identifying opportunities with boldness of vision, believing that successful projects come from good intelligence and great teamwork, JAMM’s ability to efficiently meet client expectations at every stage gives it the edge to tackle both difficult projects and difficult market conditions.
