Ward 76 - Maternity Hospital Design

Interior design and public art for Ward 76, transitional care for St Michael's Maternity Hospital in Bristol
Spring - Autumn 2025
Commissioned by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust's Arts & Culture Programme
This project has been generously funded by Bristol & Weston Hospital Charity

I am thrilled to have been commissioned to design a new interiors and public art scheme for Ward 76, the transitional care unit for pre-term babies and their families at St Michael's Hospital. The design will encompass the ward corridor, 3 x four bay rooms, 3 x bedrooms, the reception area and the Parent & Baby Room. 

Following consultation with staff and patients on the ward, feedback from hospital design researchers and workshops with mothers and babies the design is currently in development for installation this Autumn. 

There will be one final workshop on Thurs 18th Sept, 1:30 - 3pm outside St Michael's Hospital main entrance, exploring the street trees through drawing and poetry to imagine what changes they have witnessed in us as we enter and leave the hospital. Participant's drawings and poetry will feature throughout the ward in the final design. Please join if you have a connection to St Michael's - as staff, past patient or grown up baby!
