140 modules of the VELUX Modular Skylight system have
been installed at the new Wicklow Hospice at Magheramore, Ireland,
providing ventilation, thermal comfort and natural light.
Wicklow
Hospice Foundation appointed Martin Noone Architects, from Dún
Laoghaire, to undertake the design of this section 38 facility, which
was completed in January 2020 and accommodates 15 in-patient bedrooms, a
number of treatment rooms, café, shop and an oratory, plus management
and office suites.
Critical
to the design of this healthcare facility was the need to harness the
positive benefits of natural daylight and create an environment that
would be sensitive to the needs of patients, nursing staff and visitors
alike.
