WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Pearce Bottomley Architects
Pearce Bottomley Architects are a multi-award winning
architectural practice creating a sense of place for people.
As an RIBA Chartered Practice, formed in 1958 with a
history traceable to 1888, we deliver projects using a
range of procurement methods across the RIBA work
stages including traditional, design and build contracts and
partnering agreements.
At the heart of all our work are people: medical staff and
their patients school children and staff, congregations, the
people who live in the homes we build, those who have
no home at all. In order for this wide range of people to
benefit from the design process, we believe that it is crucial
to involve them in the design process.
By promoting a close working relationship with our clients
and the end-users throughout the design, delivery and
post-completion stages the architecture, in whatever form
it takes, becomes relevant, meaningful and long term.
Architectural Design
Our core service is based on the RIBA Plan of Work from
inception to completion on a wide range of building
types, on projects large and small and on both new build
and existing buildings. We undertake site inspections,
condition surveys and detailed analysis of existing buildings
to determine repairs and maintenance strategies for many
types of property.
CDM Coordination
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations
2007 require certain types of building projects to be notified
to the Health and Safety Executive and necessitate the
need for a CDM Coordinator to be appointed. Our team are
Corporate Members of the Association for Project Safety
thereby enabling us to fulfil the role of CDM Coordinator.
Project Management
We can act as the single point of supervision for a building
project, overseeing the construction, management,
coordination, fit out and furnishing of a scheme. We have
Members of the Association of Project Managers within
the Practice.
Public Consultation and Engagement
We can act as independent facilitators bringing stakeholders
together to explore ways in which a community or facility
can develop. We have worked successfully with a range of
stakeholders from inner cities through to rural communities,
housing estates, schools and community centres, high
streets and health facilities. By using a range of proven tools
and methodologies – as well as considerable enthusiasm
– we help make the connection between the design and
the people for whom we are designing.
Design Review and Advisory Services
Design review is an independent and impartial evaluation
process that offers feedback and observations of schemes
but does not seek to redesign them. Members of our
team sit on the Regional Design Review Panel supporting
decision makers across the Yorkshire region in their pursuit
of high quality buildings and spaces. We also offer an
advisory service to a range of clients (including community
groups, local authorities and commercial clients) acting as
an independent reviewer where a design team is already
in place.

DESIGNING FOR HEALTHCARE
Buildings as part of the therapeutic process
We firmly believe that healthcare facilities can have a
positive effect on health and well-being themselves,
whether for those receiving care or those delivering it.
Whether you are a doctor, healthcare provider or developer,
we will work with you to develop your assets, providing
‘healing spaces’ that feel good to be in and increase service
efficiency through innovative design.
We understand that healthcare buildings work better when
they act as a focus to the local community and, through
the careful use of materials, colour and landscaping, create
a sense of personalised care rather than an institutional
service.
Knowledge and experience
Over the past 50 years of delivering healthcare schemes,
we have adapted to the many changes in the NHS. We are
fully conversant with relevant legislation including infection
control requirements, HTMs and Firecode.
In the last 10 years we have specialised in Primary Care
Facilities via Doctor Led, Third Party Developers, PFI and
LIFT routes and are part of the Hull NHS Framework.
We have extensive experience of delivering a wide range
of medical and hospital departments including nonmedical support services, various projects for acute and
elderly mental health patients and a number of care-inthe community projects including conversion and newbuild works to provide shared units with central support
facilities.
Award winning medical and non-medical healthcare
schemes
Pearce Bottomley Architects have won numerous awards
for the design and delivery of healthcare, both for medical
and non-medical projects. Many of these projects are
included in this portfolio.

WORKING DIRECT WITH GPS
SHERBURN GROUP PRACTICE
CLIENT: Sherburn Medical Practice
VALUE: £500,000
CONTRACTOR: Allerton Construction
We have a long history of working directly with GPs to
develop their own Practices. Sometimes this involves
extending a purpose-built surgery, other times it is about
re-configuring a building that was never intended to be a
surgery, quite often starting out as a house, adapting to a
whole new use over a number of years.
Whatever the circumstances, we will work closely with
GPs, nursing staff, other healthcare professionals and
administrative staff to develop a surgery that meets the
needs of 21st century community healthcare and the
specific requirements of the individual Practice.
We have worked continously with the Sherburn medical
Practice for over 40 years, converting the original surgery
building from a house to a medical centre in the 1970s.
More recently, the Practice added an additional building
to the surgey by refurbishing and converting an existing
Grade II Listed former school building in the centre of
Sherburn in Elmet.
This building is adjacent to the existing surgery and provides
expanded and enhanced services such as physiotherapy,
chiropody, speech and language therapy, psychology and
counselling, as well as some visiting consultant services
such as psychiatry.
Other works carried out for the Practice include fabric
repairs and refurbishment work.
ADDINGHAM MEDICAL CENTRE
CLIENT: Dr Suleman
VALUE: £1.4 million
CONTRACTOR: Caddick Construction
Located at on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, this medical
centre in Addingham provides GP services to both the
village and the surrounding towns and villages including
Ilkley and Silsden.
Due to its senstive location, the surgery utilises
traditional stone and slate construction to fit seamlessly
into the historic village, but with the addition of some
contemporary details such as the lead-lined corner
window to the waiting room. Orientation was key in the
design, with the waiting room facing the hills.
All public areas were located on the ground floor, with staff
areas on the first floor. The 800 sq m new build scheme
also included a pharmacy, with scope for the surgery to
expand at a later date.
Third Party DEVELOPMENTS
GIRLINGTON HEALTH CENTRE, BRADFORD
CLIENT: Apollo Capital Projects
VALUE: £1.4million
CONTRACTOR: Bermar Building Co. Ltd
We have been working with third party developers (3PD) in
the primary healthcare sector for over 15 years. We form a
key and pro-active part of the team, working in partnership
with GP practices, PCTs and NHS bodies to design and
deliver a range of healthcare projects.
The Wolds Centre, Market Weighton (Assara Group)
A new £2.4million development provides state of the art
facility for the Market Weighton Surgery. Accommodation
includes a pharmacy, community services and a minor
surgery suite. Due to complete October 2014 and achieves
BREEAM Excellent.
Spire Hospital, Anlaby, East Yorkshire
A new 2 storey facility for Spire Healthcare to provide
physiotherapy, wellness and community surgery
accommodation for patients together with comprehensive
facilities for staff. Due to start on site end of 2014.
Girlington Health Centre is located in the heart of Bradford,
surrounded on each side by the traditional terraced
housing so typical of the area.
The brief was established through close consultation with
the Practice Manager, the doctors, nursing staff and visiting
healthcare professionals. We also worked with patient
groups and carried out a series of public consultations and
Q&A sessions. This was especially important so that we
could fully understand the wider needs of the community,
and, particular, very specific cultural needs.
The success of this engagement programme resulted in a
building that is widely used by the local community as a
general meeting point and cultural centre as opposed to
being just a health centre.
The principle feature of the health centre is the bright
double height waiting area which forms the heart of the
scheme. Careful specification and use of colour creates
a friendly and modern interior, whilst the building is
designed in such a way that it achieves BREEAM Healthcare
‘excellent’ standard
BRIG ROYD SURGERY, RIPPONDEN
CLIENT: Apollo Capital Projects
VALUE: £2.2million
CONTRACTOR: Southdale Ltd
Brig Royd Surgery is a new two storey Primary Care Centre
and GP practice on the edge of the village of Ripponden.
It is adjacent to Ripponden Conservation Area and is on
the periphery of Rishworth Moor, an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.
The building is designed to reflect the village and landscape
in which it is situated, with the massing kept low and
heavy, reflecting the local character. The form of the
building looks to Ripponden’s history for its inspiration,
with its distinctive plan reflecting the mill races that are
common in the area.
The 1200 sq m building is organised around a central
top light atrium space with public accessible spaces,
including a pharmacy, located on the ground floor and
the staff accommodation to the first. A key feature of the
waiting room is the glass mobile by a local artist which
takes inspiration from the River Ryburn and the specific
medicinal qualities of plants and flowers.
An air source heat pumps top provides over 10% of the
building’s energy.
FARROW MEDICAL CENTRE
CLIENT: Apollo Capital Projects
VALUE: £1.4million
CONTRACTOR: Bermar Building Company Ltd
Farrow Medical Centre replaced a smaller GP surgery and
provides nine consulting rooms, a dedicated counselling
room, minor surgery suite and a large multi-purpose room
suitable for a variety of clinical and non-clinical uses.
Although the new medical centre remains on the high
street, it utilises a redundant site opposite the old surgery.
The new location has enabled the building to have much
greater accessibility with new road and path improvements
as well a car park to the rear. The new location has also
meant that a pharmacy could be accommodated on the
site as well.
The medical centre is in the process of achieving BREEAM
‘Very Good’ with photovoltaic roof mounted panels,
partial under floor heating and light sensors. Should the
Practice wish to expand in the future, the building can
extend at first floor level.
Dr Wendy Leedham (GP Partner) - “a high quality, well designed
building which we feel sure will enable us to provide quality primary
care services for our patients and the local community.”
PFI and LIFT SCHEMES
THE FRIARY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, RICHMOND, NORTH
YORKSHIRE
CLIENT: Primary Medical Property
VALUE: £2million
CONTRACTOR: Robert R Roberts
We have worked on a range of PFI and LIFT schemes across
the region including the first healthcare project to be
completed as a pure government-approved Private Finance
Initiative.
Both PFI and LIFT schemes involve, in the most part, the
combination of services in a larger building, and therefore
many of the design challenges centre on appropriate use of
shared space. This is crucial to enable staff and patients to
access all the different services that they may need to visit
as part of an extended consultation. We have developed the
skills, experience and understanding to bring the different
departments and facilities together, whilst ensuring that
these ‘in between’ spaces remain an important part of
the brief. These spaces are, afterall, vital to the smooth
running of the building.
Awards
The Cudworth Centre, Cudworth - National LIFT Awards
2008 for Best Regeneration Project
White Wings Centre, Askern - National LIFT Awards 2010
for Best User Experience
The Friary Community Hospital is one of the first
PFI projects of its type in the UK and comprises the
refurbishment and extension to a Grade II listed former
boarding school with a history dating back to the 1600s.
However, the building had been derelict for some years
before becoming a community hospital and GP surgery.
The project therefore became a threefold design challenge
- how to restore a historic building, how to sympathetically
convert a listed building to an entirely different use, and
how to ensure that the scheme meets the expectations of
a 21st century medical profession.
The reinvigorated building is designed to aid the healthcare
professionals at the hospital in their objective to provide
a multi-disciplinary approach by providing a 18 bed ward,
facilities for eight separate GP Practices, therapy rooms
for dietetics, speech therapy, chiropody, physiotherapy
and occupational therapy as well as facilities for a number
of clinics including surgical, orthopaedic, medicine,
rheumatology, paediatrics, mental health, family planning
and audiology. The Friary also has its own Chapel of rest.
CUDWORTH HEALTH CENTRE
CLIENT: Barnsley Community Solutions
VALUE: £5.5million
CONTRACTOR: Bluestone
This scheme is one of two buildings in Tranche 1b of
the Barnsley NHS LIFT Development Programme and
comprises the construction of a new three storey building
on an existing brownfield site close to Cudworth Town
Centre. It won two awards in the national LIFT awards:
for ‘Best Community Project’ and for ‘Best Regeneration
Scheme’’.
The centre was developed to coordinate healthcare
provision in Cudworth and brought together four GP
Practices, a pharmacy, Local Authority facilities and PCT
facilities including physiotherapy, audiology, day care
surgery, dentistry and podiatry in the same building.
This significantly improved primary care in Cudworth by
providing enhanced therapy and clinical facilities in a
quality environment.
The building is arranged into zones with public accessible
spaces on ground and first floors and largely staff spaces
on the second floor. A main building reception adjacent
to the main entrance directs visitors to sub reception and
waiting areas within the building.
NON MEDICAL CARE
An important aspect of delivering sustainable healthcare
is the need to provide for non-medical care. These types
of projects may include care homes and support units for
both the elderly and young people. They also include care
facilities for the homeless and the less advantaged.
Consultation and user engagement are crucial to the success
of this particular type of project, a sense of ownership and
pride enables their long standing place in the immediate
and wider community.
We have designed and delivered multi-award winning nonmedical care schemes such as St George’s Crypt in Leeds
city centre and the Hospital of God at Greatham, near
Hartlepool.

ST GEORGE’S CRYPT, LEEDS
CLIENT: St. George’s Crypt
VALUE: £1million
CONTRACTOR: Baum Management
This multi-award winning facility for the homeless
comprises an extension and extensive refurbishment of St
George’s Crypt, an annex to the Grade II listed St George’s
Church in the centre of Leeds. As well as the sensitive
design approach to an important heritage building, the
scheme was an exploration of how architecture can
influence the way an organisation is run and the impact
it has on users.
The facility has been an enormous success, with the
charity noting that the openness of the design and quality
of finish has been instrumental in improving the selfesteem and trust of the clients. Graffiti and vandalism
have significantly reduced and, for the first time, clients
were able to be given some privacy. St George’s Crypt
have been able to extend their services to the homeless
of Leeds by offering health checks, training and support.
Highly Commended ‘Community Benefit’ – RICS Pro-Yorkshire Awards

HOSPITAL OF GOD, GREATHAM, HARTLEPOOL
CLIENT: Hospital of God
VALUE: £2.9million
CONTRACTOR: Gus Robinson Developments
This award winning scheme is a 35 bed residential care
home in the historic village of Greatham, including
refurbishment of existing Grade II listed accommodation.
To reduce the impact on the surrounding landscape the
building was designed to resemble a series of traditional
smaller houses stepping down the hillside.
In order to foster a sense of community within the complex,
rooms were collected into smaller groups of 6 or 7, with
communal seating areas overlooking the surrounding
farmland. An important aspect of this community is the
day centre which forms a principle part of the hospital
providing a cafe and activity areas for both residents and
the local population.
For residents, each of the bedrooms have en-suite
facilities and user-controlled environmental features and,
where possible, patio doors opening out onto the central
courtyard. Those on the upper floors had French balconies
to connect to the courtyard or additional windows
providing selected views over the landscape. In particular,
each bedroom has broadband in order to meet the needs
of a new generation of residents.
