Ab Rogers Design has built a Maggie's Centre for the Royal Marsden cancer treatment hospital clad in glazed red terracotta and surrounded by a Piet Oudolf-designed garden.
The centre in Sutton, England, is formed of four inter-connected volumes with large glazed fronts.

The terracotta was bent and extruded to form the exaggerated corrugated effect and painted in shades of glossy carmine and coral.
