New Children’s Hospice for EACH

By Suffolk Architects Barefoot & Gilles

East Anglia's Children's Hospices supports families throughout their experience of caring for children with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses. Suffolk Architects Barefoot & Gilles have now completed their new Treehouse Hospice in Ipswich to help the charity support many more families.

Built in the centre of a four-acre woodland site, the building provides six children's bedrooms, family accommodation, meeting activity areas, therapy rooms, living rooms, a staff wing and outdoor facilities for the Children's Hospice in a domestic environment, which promotes dignity and independence for all users. Designed around a courtyard with strong links to the landscape, the building is a safe, non-institutional environment where children, families and staff can thrive.
