Alessandro Caruso Architects – Get To Know Our Work
ACA is a leading healthcare architecture practice and interior design firm in Beverley, Hull, Doncaster and Yorkshire, whilst also delivering projects nationwide.
The ACA team has extensive clinical understanding and is a specialist in the health and social sector, having designed in excess of 500 facilities. Accordingly, we work for several NHS Trusts, Private Health and Social Care Providers and Registered Social Landlords. For example, we design a range of Residential Care facilities including Extra Care Housing; Dementia; Nursing and Care Homes; Respite Care and Intermediate Care Units. Additionally, we design GP surgeries and Health Centres; Pharmacies; Community Hospitals; Outpatient Departments; Vascular Units; Haematology Departments; Diagnostics; Intermediate Care Units; Critical Care (HDU/ICU and PICU); Operating Theatres and Acquired Brain Injury Units.
ACA is a member of the Design in Mental Health Network (DIMHN). Due to a history of interior design and architecture projects also completed in Spain and Italy, Alex Caruso represents the DIMHN leading the international workstream.
Furthermore, ACA has supported several organisations as Dementia and Complex Needs Design Champions, a role specifically designed to create supportive, Dementia & Complex Needs Friendly environments.
To keep abreast of the latest innovations and best practice, ACA regularly attends, speaks at and chairs leading specialist conferences such as The European Healthcare Design, Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estates Management (IHEEM), DIMHN and the Academy of Design and Health Conferences. Several of our papers have been published.
Equally important, we take our specialist Health and Social Care knowledge and apply it to the Commercial, Education and Residential sectors. For instance, the disruption Covid 19 has caused in recent times could not be a better example. We tailor infection control design standards for workplace and educational facilities. We apply environmental wellbeing design principles such as colour themes, wayfinding design strategies, artwork and tactile materials to all sectors. Our overall philosophy is to create healthy environments to heal, work, learn or live in.
Previous designs have received a BREEAM rating certification, therefore demonstrating innovative solutions with flexible layout designs and material specification.
