“Maggie’s Centre: the jolly green giant”
– The Guardian
Dezeen Wire: in a review for The Guardian, architecture critic Jonathan Glancey says that the new Maggie’s centre in Nottingham is like something out of a fairytale and “is clearly designed to make visitors smile” – The Guardian
Glancey claims that architect Piers Gough of CZWG and fashion designer Paul Smith, who was responsible for the interior, have triumphed in their attempt at creating a homely environment for those affected by cancer, adding: “From a purely architectural and design point of view, few hospital buildings – this side of the other eight Maggie’s Centres built in Britain since the 1990s – are as welcoming.”
