It was fantastic to hear the latest updates on Barnsley’s future health and wellbeing hub at Barnsley Council's launch event yesterday.   Announced last year, this partnership-led space in the Alhambra Shopping Centre will bring vital services to the heart of the town centre – reducing pressure on NHS services by bringing care closer to where people live, shop and socialise.   With an on-site gym run by BPL (Barnsley Premier Leisure) and integrated mental health services, it’s set to become more than just a clinic – a true destination for prevention, support and wellbeing.   We’re proud to be providing technical advisory services via SCAPE through Perfect Circle, working alongside Barnsley Council and Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.   #HealthOnTheHighStreet #Barnsley #Wellbeing #PublicSector #SCAPE

Architectural sketches do more than capture ideas — they spark conversations, shape visions, and bring communities to life. At Pick Everard, our sketches play a vital role in visualising innovative designs and sustainable solutions. Whether it’s reimagining learning environments or enhancing public spaces, each drawing helps tell the story of the communities we’re proud to support. Take a look at this selection of our recent sketches — each one a step towards shaping a better built environment. #Architecture #DesignProcess #ArchitectureSketch

Sketching is an essential part of the design process. Architectural Assistant, Callum Pell shares how early sketch work helped explore and evolve initial proposals for a mixed-use masterplan development, with careful consideration of scale, context, and form. Each sketch tells a story of the design journey and has been a valuable tool in realising the potential of this scheme. Sketching remains a vital part of architectural design, enabling our teams to communicate ideas, test options, and bring concepts to life from the earliest stages. #Architecture #DesignProcess #Sketching
