Maggie’s Centre Cheltenham featured in The Observer

Written by Charles Lowe

Maggie’s Centre Cheltenham, where IQ Projects delivered the architectural glazing package, has been featured in The Observer’s Architecture section in Rowan Moore’s article How Maggie’s built a place of greater sanctuary. The piece focuses on the newly extended Cheltenham centre while reflecting on the wider architectural ambition behind Maggie’s Centres across the UK.

In the article, Moore highlights the calm, layered quality of the building and the way light, materiality and views contribute to a sense of sanctuary. For IQ Projects, the feature is welcome national coverage for a scheme where carefully integrated glazing helps connect old and new elements, draw natural light deeper into the plan and support the open, welcoming character of the centre.

Cheltenham also forms part of a wider body of Maggie’s Centre work delivered by IQ, alongside projects in North Wales and Wirral. Together, these projects show how architectural glazing can help shape healthcare environments that feel generous, uplifting and closely connected to the landscape.
