This project built on SWA’s previous work carried out at Ebbsfleet Garden City. We were appointed to design a Health and Wellbeing Hub (HWbH) – a new form of community-focused healthy living centre based on the model of the Bromley-by-Bow Centre in Poplar, with integrated inter-generational and specialist housing.
The project aimed to address people’s health and social problems primarily through facilitating social prescribing. The building’s site forms a prominent element of the Outline Masterplan (by Allies & Morrison) for the future town centre, which aims to become a healthy place to live, work and play.
