Hospital Upgrade

JIA have worked closely with University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust and the users at St Michael's Hospital to create a tranquil setting for their Bereavement Suite. The practice has donated a visualisation of the refurbished facilities to assist with the fund-raising activities of  'Above and Beyond', who are making a significant financial contribution to the scheme.

The proposals include improvements to the corridor approach, the installation of an accessible WC and new lighting/finishes/furniture in the waiting room, viewing gallery and bier room. It is intended to start work on site in November.

Exemplar Scheme for Health Trust

JIA are exploring options for arranging new consultation rooms in a multidisciplinary clinic in Bristol. The eventual scheme will employ innovative lighting and contemporary storage systems to reduce the clinical atmosphere and general clutter found in similar units throughout the NHS.

Gloucester Mixed Use Scheme

The planning application is approaching a (likely positive) decision. The sketch-up model has been useful for illustrating the scheme to potential purchasers of the site.

Adjustments to elevation detail

On the front elevation the extent of the zinc vertical cladding has been reduced on the infill between the two existing Victorian villas. We have retained the zinc as the rustication around the main entrance door and on projecting features.

Glazing bars have been played down at the rear of the development by changing their colour from white to dark grey, simplifying the overall composition.

Early designs for scheme in Bath

A design for four houses on the outskirts of Bath. Materials are proposed to be a mixture of random and dressed local stone with clay double Roman roof tiles. A shallow plan has been adopted to give most rooms a dual aspect and views to open country to the south. Staircases are positioned to punctuate the street elevation and strengthen the skin of the terrace.

Gloucester Mixed Use Development

JIA have adjusted plans following detailed negotiations with Gloucester City Planners. These images show the amendments to the scheme, mainly relating to Police 'Secured by Design' recommendations.

It is a pity that we have had to compromise some of the proposed permeability of the scheme in order to address perceived risks associated with accessibility. However, the spaces between the buildings have not lost interest.

Proposed Development in Clevedon

JIA have just submitted a planning application to convert a hotel in Clevedon into 14 apartments. The proposals include the renovation and conversion of two Victorian villas and the creation of a new link containing a lift, principal circulation and a solarium. The new street elevation is to be clad in zinc with projecting features responding to the existing  rhythm and vertical emphasis of surrounding buildings. The rear elevation, overlooking the Bristol Channel, will be enlivened with zinc clad balconies.
