The King Edward VII Sanatorium was constructed between 1903 and 1906 as a specialist institution for the treatment of tuberculosis, and its design reflected the latest clinical ideas. The Sanatorium has been an important local landmark for a century.
We have been commissioned in collaboration with Squire & Partners and Land Use Consultants to prepare a masterplan for the redevelopment of the site as a residential complex.
The first step will be careful analysis of the historic building. By stripping away the poorer quality modern interventions, the team will return the Sanatorium to its original form and unlock its potential. The key challenge will be to maximise the building's existing footprint, balancing commercial imperatives with respect for the listed fabric. Another challenge will be to win a strong consensus for the scheme from the local community and other stakeholders.
