COMPANY PROFILE
At Vision, we are driven to provide sustainable and innovative solutions that cater carefully to
the design needs of our clients; ranging from beautiful designs, to proper planning, costing and
expertise. Our multidisciplinary team are dedicated to ensure that every brief handled is done so
with meticulous attention to detail, providing a project that is above and beyond its intended
outcome. All members of the team specialise in different facets of the construction process and
as such, are capable together of administering an array of tasks that move a design to completion
more smoothly, efficiently and with greater variation. It is the vision we has a collective that
ensures our clients walk away satisfied with the results.
TEAM STRUCTURE
Our company ethos revolves
around transparency and clarity
with our clients and as such, our
approach to design.We believe in a
clear, structured team organisation
encompassing a holistic unit of
specialists that deliver honesty
and integrity to our projects; a
structure that translates directly
to the architectural language we
portray. This approach allows for
engaging conversation with clients
and users alike to achieve the best
possible outcome.

DESIGN HIERARCHY
Aside from our intended values explained
in the previous sections, we choose to
design according to a design hierarchy of
needs. Much like Maslow’s counterpart,
it ensures that the fundamental elements
of the design, with respect to functionality
and reliability, are completely satisfied
before moving up a the tiered pyramid to
more creative objectives. This concept
provides a stable base for design, giving
the client piece of mind in obtaining a fully
encompassing scheme.

PROJECT APPROACH
Team Vision will follow a well-structured and organised plan to achieve the aims and requirements
of our client, the New Papworth Hospital. With the project based on The Cambridge Biomedical
Campus, we are well aware of the cultural, social and scientific significance which is associated
with this world class institution and facility. It is of paramount importance that we offer a solution
which adds a new dynamic to the campus whilst also complimenting the existing infrastructure.
Using the RIBA Plan of Work 2013 as a template we will begin by identifying a strategic definition
for the project. We will discuss initial thoughts and requirements for the hospital and conduct an
extensive yet concise site analysis. Job roles for each team member will be considered based on
their knowledge and experience.
Consolidating our findings will be part of the preparation and brief section of the programme. It
is at this point where we will begin to outline our primary aims and objectives for the hospital.This
will encompass many aspects of the project including working environments, healthcare benefits,
commercial opportunities, sustainability goals as well as many others. However, we firmly believe
that the occupants are the primary focus of the project given the building typology.We understand
how the building and construction industry can have a positive impact on the users by promoting
creative architecture and innovative service strategies in one cohesive design.
Our comprehensive planning will help to influence our concept design, the third stage of the
project. As we are adding to an existing campus, a masterplanning exercise will be conducted to
ensure a homogeneous site which will operate effectively for both new and existing users. Upon
completion of this task, the new hospital can be assessed as an individual entity, drawing up initial
design proposals and constantly refining them to ensure the requirements of the clients are met.
The developed design phase will begin to implement the services systems which have been
devised by our team. This will be an iterative method where the design will be continuously
adapted to ensure the building can operate at an optimal performance level without compromising
on the integrity of the design.
This outlined method will ensure that a well resolved solution is formulated which not only fulfils
the needs of the client but adds to this biomedical research facility which can provide benefits on
both a micro and macro scale.

Midland Metropolitan Hospital.
SKILLS
ABOUT ME
Matthew graduated from the University of Nottingham last year with a Bachelors
of Architecture with the focus of his thesis work on healthcare, exploring in both his
dissertation on the unique typology of Maggie’s Cultural Cancer Centres and final
proposal, for a prosthetics rehabilitation centre, the vital role architecture plays in a
patients recovery and well-being.
After working at Edward Williams architects on other healthcare projects, championing
the use of BIM software within the firm, he has since moved over to John McAlsan to
work across a range of sectors as a visualisations expert.
RELEVANT PROJECTS
Sam has mainly worked on commercial
warehousing and masterplanning with
AJA. At university, Sam also worked on
a Naval Educational Facility for his
final thesis, and a ‘Retrofit for the Future’
initiative for his dissertation.
SKILLS
ABOUT ME
Sam has a broad knowledge of both architectural design and building services,
understanding how these two aspects coalesce to inform efficient, sustainable
and sophisticated proposals. He strives to meet the highest industry standards for
sustainable design, implementing both active and passive strategies in his designs
where appropriate to achieve this goal.
Whilst he acknowledges the importance of sustainable design, Sam believes it must be
applied through innovative architecture. He is eager to understand the needs of the user
to create comfortable, productive and evocative environments using his appreciation for
light, sound, materiality and spatial arrangement.

PREVIOUS PROJECTS
Midland Metropolitan Hospital
Architect/Visualizer: Matthew Austin
Due to open in October 2018,
the super hospital in Smethwick
is being created to provide
maternity, children’s and inpatient
adult services to an estimated half
a million people. It will house 670
beds and 15 operation theatres,
as well as brand-new innovative
diagnostic equipment.
The Doha Metro
Engineers: Jake Lenahan & Ángela Ruiz
Part of a rejuvenated public
transportation project in Qatar, the
metro in the capital is estimated
to enter operations in 2019, with
the completion date for all 56
stations set to the summer of
2026. The design forms a bridge
between the past and the future
of the nation, drawing inspiration
from regional architecture.
Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast
Engineer: Jonathan Daly
Central to Northern Ireland’s
healthcare strategy to centralise
the most complex cases is the
£143million critical care unit.
The building boasts a very high
sustainability and environmental
standard, with the engineers
achieving both BREEAM and
NEAT ‘Excellent’ ratings upon
post-occupancy reviews.

Functionality
Taking the clients brief and building upon
our own design ethos, we can begin to
formulate potential ideas for future tasks
that we would undertake. On the right
are four inspirational photographs for
design ideologies we would like to instil
into our project. The Lloyds of London
and Pompidou Centre buildings portray
our vision of using external structure
and services as an expressional
language to communicate legibility
and functionality. The next inspiration
comes in the form of Google’s proposed
main office campus in Mountain View,
California. Community, space and awe-
inspiring design are at the heart of this
project, and that is something that we
would aim to emulate in Cambridge.
CURRENT SITE AND BRIEF
The strategic masterplan for the campus is said to
need strong urban structures that underpin its
relationship with the city of Cambridge, and of the
colleges it supports.It needs to be set out logically, with
the infrastructure built around a web of interconnecting
streets and spaces that echo feel of the existing
colleges. A hierarchy of spaces will be important so
such that highly populated streets are funnelled out
into open courtyards, encouraging cohesion between
different disciplines. Sustainability is also high on
the clients agenda, and this will need to be addressed
with reduced travel and energy requirements in and
around the campus.
