Design
Ample space and sustainable parking
The Dorset MSCP features six levels, plus a ground floor, offering a total of 654 parking spaces. Despite its considerable size, the structure was ingeniously designed to integrate with the hillside, resulting in a minimized visual impact. The main pedestrian access is located on level 1, with vehicle entry on level 0 and exit on level 1. Ten percent of the total parking area is equipped with both active and passive electric vehicle chargers, including 12 active bays and 54 passive bays that can be activated as needed. The rectangular layout, enhanced by the VCM system, ensures a user-friendly experience, facilitating stress-free parking for all. Access to the main stair core, featuring two lifts, is conveniently situated on level 1, directly facing the hospital. A secondary stair core with one lift provides pedestrian access from level 0. The building is outfitted with a fire alarm system, CCTV, and a parking management system, all tailored to meet the specific requirements of the client.
Outstanding façade design
Iconic local landscapes
The MSCP’s façade is composed of perforated powder-coated aluminium panels, adorned with iconic images of Dorset landscapes, selected by the local community. Climbing plants climb from the ground up the facades on linear nets and stainless steel cables, making this green wall not only visually appealing, but also easy to maintain and environmentally sustainable.
