Maggie's Centre Fife Building Concept

The Maggie’s Centre Fife is within the grounds of Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. Providing a resource and counselling centre for people with cancer, Maggie’s Fife is domestic in scale but unique in execution.

Maggie’s Centre Fife is located on the edge of a hollow adjacent to the hospital. The hollow has a dramatic topography, which in combination with the natural foliage and trees creates a very distinctive protected environment in stark contrast to the other facilities of Victoria Hospital. As a single storey construction, Maggie’s Fife is a continuation of the existing tree-line that surrounds this natural hollow. The centre has been designed as a transition between the two different types of spaces – the natural landscape and the hospital. By using various study models, Zaha Hadid Architects explored how an edge to the hollow could be developed which transforms itself into a building envelope – becoming a gateway to the natural landscape.
