Robin House Children’s Hospice

Provision of access incorporating a fully encapsulated UBIX temporary roof system to support the roof repair and replacement project.

Robin House opened in the autumn of 2004 and is operated by CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland). The modern building nestled into the surrounding landscape is located within Loch Lomond National Park and was designed by Hoskin Architects, Glasgow, with a “ribbon roof” to replicate the waves of the loch. The shaped roof creates a unique identity for the building while maximising daylight, and the hospice is organised into wings with two glazed internal courtyards housing a den, an art room, and a hydrotherapy pool to provide a “home from home” for families caring for terminally ill children. Buildings on the six-acre site are surrounded by a large accessible landscaped garden space maintained by a dedicated team of volunteers.
