Clock View provides a range of services for older people in North Liverpool including 85 in-patient beds for adults with acute mental illness and dementia. The project redevelops parts of the existing Walton Hospital site taking advantage of existing local transport links and an established healthcare location close to residents. In addition to its healthcare function, the project signals investment in the community and is intended to act as a catalyst to the general regeneration of the area.
Clock View
The experience that people coming to Clock View have is bright en-suite bedrooms, artwork, gyms, family rooms, activity spaces, and the food. They all say: ‘we value you; we care for you; we are going to help and support your recovery; this is going to be a positive experience for you and your family’.

The facility is design as a sequence of low pavilions. This disaggregated approach supports the need for future flexibility and addresses the desire to create domestic-scaled buildings in a landscaped setting. This offers numerous advantages including the creation of semi-private and private / secure open space and interlinked therapeutic landscaped gardens which integrate specially commissioned artwork. The pavilions break down the scale of the development bringing identity and character to the different wards and supporting urban integration with neighbouring residential developments.
