Ravenscourt Park Hospital was originally built as The Royal Masonic Hospital and is listed as a fine example of 1930's modern architecture. Hammersmith Hospitals took over the building in 2002 to convert into a Diagnostic and Treatment Centre for orthopaedic surgery. It is now a specialised and self contained unit providing facilities shared by trusts across West London.

The brief was to refurbish the accommodation to provide 106 beds, 6 'ultra clean' operating theatres and a physiotherapy department within the confines of the existing structure. Consultation was coordinated for the needs of different medical teams from surgeons, therapists and nursing staff to facilities management, as all the building services were also renewed in the restoration.

From the onset, we worked closely with the local authority conservation department to implement accommodation of modern clinical standard whilst sympathetically preserving and restoring the buildings important historical fabric for long term re use.

Much of this involved the un-doing of previous refurbishments, the careful mending of original design features and the merging of new facilities and equipment. The layout of the buildings have been restored to an original clarity with modern requirements such as en-suite bathrooms worked into the plan, and have provided a rapid solution for the trust, as the project was delivered within 18 months in 3 phases.
