Derek Stow & Partners, architects Charles Weiss and Partners, engineers (photographs by Trevor Jones; Brecht-Einzig Lmtd)

«This elegant building, with its long low lines, is a good complement to the general high standard of design of the low-rise housing at Thamesmead. Designed as long ago as 1966, before anyone had moved into Thamesmead, the architect's main intention was to provide a building that would encourage doctors, dentists and others to work together as a team to give the best possible service to patients. It is the first permanent Health Centre in the London Borough of Bexley and received a 1973 Civic Trust Award. The building is partly set over water at one end of the South Mere with public access at first floor level from a deck which is at the same level as the nearby shops, linking directly with walkways to houses, flats and maisonettes. The main accommodation is at this level and consists of four main elements: common room and waiting rooms; medical (including local authority) accommodation; dental surgeries; ancillary dental accommodation. (...) Structurally, the building consists of a light glass and steel superstructure set on a reinforced concrete deck supported by in situ reinforced concrete primary beams and precast secondary beams.»

«The planning of Peter Aldington's house is as personal as its expression, and the kitchen is treated as another living room at the centre of the house, off which all rooms open. A small but delightful enclosed water garden adjoins the entrance hall, and there is also a fine sweep of open garden at the rear with an old walnut tree around which part of the house was planned.»
