Its roof structure blocks views of Charing Cross Hospital, which towers above it. Photo © Jane Smith Each step toward the entrance of the building moves one away from the din. Much attention was paid to creating entry circulation that would be welcoming but maintain patient privacy. Photo © Jane Smith A fully enclosed exterior courtyard just outside the center’s kitchen provides visitors with a sheltered place to rest or have a conversation. Photo © Jane Smith The center is built around its kitchen table. This relaxing, well-lighted gathering point is perfect for the cups of tea and informal conversations that help make visitors feel welcome. Photo © Jane Smith Work spaces on the second floor are located on balconies and reached via bridges in order to allow daylight to flood the first floor of the building. Photo © Jane Smith The center’s head, Bernie Byrne, describes interior spaces, such as this sitting room, as “fluid.” Visitors and groups can rearrange furniture as they wish. Photo © Jane Smith The entrance to a courtyard is located next to the kitchen table. A cutout in the building’s exterior wall provides the only glimpse into Maggie’s Centre from the plaza. Photo © Jane Smith The steel diagrid roof structure is supported by interior columns, allowing it to cantilever over the low-iron glass exterior walls.
