Cheshire Rehabilitation Clinic Wins Prestigious Northern Design Award

Just months after opening its doors, in March 2020, Delamere Health has won the Best Amazing Space category at the Northern Design Awards 2020.

Delamere is a purpose-built Northwich-based clinic dedicated to helping people overcome addiction through holistic rehabilitation.

Judged by some of the most revered designers and architects, the Amazing Space category serves to recognise those that ‘break the mould’ to deliver stunning visual environments with exceptional function and innovative style.

The £7m rehabilitation centre that was designed by JDA Architects pushes the boundaries of traditional medical facility designs, focused on creating a unique and supportive atmosphere that will aid in the treatment. 

Recognising that the environment around you has a significant effect on your mindset, Delamere and JDA Architects were intentional with their groundbreaking designs. 

The rural retreat in Cheshire sits on six acres of idyllic green space and the building boasts floor to ceiling windows and cedar cladding which gives a luxury barn feel. The strong connections to nature are prevalent in every part of the Delamere facility, even being the home to horses which are used as part of the therapy process. 

Martin Preston, Founder of Delamere Health Ltd, said: “We are thrilled to be recognised with this award, especially as we just opened. We hope to pave the way for modern rehabilitation facilities which can offer patients more than just a treatment but a haven where they can better themselves”. 

Principal at JDA, Rob Henderson added: “The scheme was an incredible experience of a client with a real vision coming together with a Design team that truly commits to a scheme that has changed the lives of 200 people already this year alone. This is truly remarkable and if the architecture contributes just a small amount… we’ve done our job.”

Delamare continues to offer addiction treatment and 24/7 help throughout COVID-19.
