Transformation of former Ravenscourt Park Hospital to include 140 homes, a 65-bed care home and community space

SPPARC has secured consent from Hammersmith and Fulham council for the redevelopment of the former Ravenscourt Park Hospital in west London. The Grade II* listed building has stood empty for almost two decades.

The approved scheme, for developer TT Group, will see the site repurposed for residential use, including 140 homes, a 65-bed care home and publicly accessible community space. The proposals also include the restoration of the hospital’s four original red brick blocks, regarded as notable examples of early modernist-influenced design.

The buildings were originally designed by Scottish architect Thomas S. Tait and opened in 1933 as the Royal Masonic Hospital. That same year, they received RIBA’s Gold Medal for Building of the Year.
