WINDOWS, WALLS AND FLOORS

by Clodagh Simons

This project looks to reinvent the architecture of Wormwood Scrubs Prison using carefully considered moves, opening up, building out and adding life back into the site. Designing for an alternative healthcare facility the spaces needed to be welcoming and bright, therefore the most important move was adding natural light into the former cells. Large oriel windows offer added space as well as natural light while altering the façade of the prison.
