The contract ran for over a year and we faced major issues during this time in regard to access to the courtyards through the building.
Creating the Ampi-theatre in courtyard seven was a major challenge due to the change of levels, setting out and the laying of the Blanc de Bierges paving.
The roof terrace was interesting to create using crushed blue galss, white granite and mosaic tiles to create an abstract flower head effect.
The real challenge was the construction of road ten and eight in terms of access and re-routing the public in and out of the hospital.
