Innovative Architectural Design By Gelder And Kitchen Benefits The Paediatric ICU At Glendale Hospital

Gelder and Kitchen who are well-established Architects for HealthCare have built a reputation of excellence for innovative interior design for hospital environments. The Glendale PICU project is a fine example.

Innovative Architectural Design For Hospital Environments; PICU at Glendale Hospital in Leicester

The project comprises of the interior design for the refurbishment and expansion of the PICU facility at Glendale Hospital in Leciester. The expansion has taken the PICU facility from three bays and three side rooms to eight bays and four side rooms.

Gelder have created a ‘Healing Environment’ at the Glendale PICU for patients and staff by using evidence based design, integrating a colour scheme for the ward with existing finishes.

Specially commissioned ceiling tiles with screen-printed blue-sky designs featuring hot air balloons, kites and planes have been installed. The tiles have excellent sound absorption properties and are coated with a BIO Guard finish that inhibits the growth of mould. Backlit images and printed tiles have enhanced areas of the PICU that have little natural light.


Gelder and Kitchen are proud to add the Paediatric ICU of Glendale Hospital to their portfolio
The project at Glendale has illustrated that sharp-edged clinical environments in hospitals can be transformed with innovative architectural design.
