馬吉醫療中心位于倫敦市中心，毗鄰圣巴托羅繆醫院。這是倫敦最古老的醫院，成立于 12 世紀，與它同時期的還有建立于 1123年的圣巴托羅繆大教堂。雷希爾（Rahere）建立教堂和醫院是為了幫助窮人。因此這塊場地上有著不同層次的歷史特征，與倫敦中世紀的歷史文化緊密相連。

雖然大部分已經建成的馬吉中心都是水平建筑，但圣巴茨的這座中心大樓將作為一棟垂直多層建筑坐落在這個帶有歷史情感的土地上。它將會把上世紀 60年代所用的磚結構替換掉，而采用十七世紀由詹姆斯吉布斯（James Gibbs）設計的石頭結構，并建成“大禮堂”和著名的賀加斯樓梯。

該大樓預期設計成一個“船中有船”的建筑。采用分支混凝土框架結構，內層是竹子，外層磨砂白色玻璃與彩色玻璃碎片混合在一起，以喚起人們對十三世紀的中世紀音樂“neume notation”的記憶。“neume”這個詞來源于希臘語 pnevma，是 “生命力”的意思。隱喻一種充滿靈感的“生命氣息”，就如微風撲面。外層玻璃呈水平狀，如音樂五線譜一般，而混凝土結構就像伸出去的手臂。

這個三層樓的中央有一個開放的弧形樓梯。在混凝土框架內，是用竹子垂直排列的開放空間。建筑外觀是呈幾何形狀的玻璃幕墻，如音樂“五線譜”一般，水平帶寬 90cm，北外立面采用了和主樓梯幾何形狀一致的樓梯，面向主廣場沿著透明的玻璃上升，同時還標志出了正門入口。另一個入口在西邊，朝向附近教堂延伸出來的花園。

The site in the center of London is adjacent to the large courtyard of St.Bartholomew’s Hospital.Founded in Smithfield in the 12th century, the hospital is the oldest in London and was founded at the same time as the St.Bartholomew the Great Church in 1123.Rahere founded the church and hospital“for the restoration of poor men.” Layers of history characterize this unique site, connecting deeply to the Medieval culture of London.

While most all of the realized Maggie’s Centres have been horizontal buildings, the centre at St.Barts will be more vertical, sitting on the historically charged site.It will replace a pragmatic 1960s brick structure adjacent to a 17th century stone structure by James Gibbs, holding the “Great Hall” and the famous Hogarth staircase.

The building is envisioned as a “vessel within a vessel within a vessel.” The structure is a branching concrete frame, the inner layer is bamboo and the outer layer is matte white glass with colored glass fragments recalling “neume notation” of Medieval music of the 13th century.The word neume originates from the Greek pnevma, which means ‘vital force.' It suggests a ‘breath of life’ that fills oneself with inspiration like a stream of air, the blowing of the wind.The outer glass layer is organized in horizontal bands like a musical staff while the concrete structure branches like the hand.

The three story centre has an open curved staircase integral to the concrete frame with open spaces v ertically lined in bamboo.The glass facade geometry, like a musical “staff” is in horizontal strips 90cm wide, which follow the geometry of the main stair along the north facade, while lifting up with clear glass facing the main square, marking the main front entry.There is a second entry on the west opening to the extended garden of the adjacent church.

大樓的屋頂上面是一個公共花園，通向一間可以練習瑜伽、太極或是聚會的大房間。彩色的光線照耀著大樓的墻壁和地板，塑造出大樓的內部空間，每天的不同時間或是不同的季節都會有不同的景觀。精心布置的室內照明使立面的彩色玻璃和半透明白色玻璃共同以一個全新的、愉悅的、鮮明的形象呈現在這塊賦有歷史韻味的土地上。

The building tops out in a public roof garden open to a large room for yoga, Tai Chi,meetings etc.The interior character of this building will be shaped by colored light washing the floors and walls, changing by the time of day and season.Interior lighting will be organized to allow the colored lenses together with the translucent white glass of the facade to present a new, joyful, glowing presence on this corner of the great square of St.Barts Hospital.
