Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa’s Maggie’s South West Wales has completed at the Singleton Hospital in Swansea.

The concrete spiral-shaped building has a kitchen at its heart, with private rooms and terraces occupying the two wings.

The centre was designed by the late Kurokawa, who died in 2007, but completed the outline designs. Thore Garbers and Wendy James of Garbers & James worked as executive architects on the project to deliver the scheme.

Of the design Kurokawa said: “The new Maggie’s Centre will come out of the earth and swing around with two arms like a rotating galaxy. One side will welcome the visitor and lead to the other side, which embraces nature, the trees, rocks and water.”

The building will be the third Maggie’s Centre to complete in recent months following CZWG’s building in Nottingham and OMA’s project at Gartnavel hospital in Glasgow.

It will open officially on December 9.
