"Located in the Partick area of Glasgow the new Community Centre
for Health was commissioned by Greater Glasgow NHS Primary Care Trust,
following a study by GHA in 2000. The design of the building aims to promote
awareness of healthcare in the community, through a strong street presence
and a high degree of openess. The street facade comprises of a zinc clad
"box" above a fully glazed ground floor.

The hardness and scale of the zinc, and the window pattern responds to
the neighbouring stone tenement buildings. The zinc "box" interlocks
with an oak clad "box", containing the treatment rooms, with
oak louvres providing protection from solar gain to large, south facing
windows. The building also houses a nursery, which opens onto its own
south facing garden to the rear, shielded from the noise and pollution
of the street."
