Dominic Hook

Dominic’s work focuses on healthcare and education projects and he particularly thrives on the challenge of working on large projects with complex sites and briefs. He was the design team leader on the multi award-winning 60,000m2 Alder Hey Children’s Health Park in Liverpool which completed in 2015 and is the co-design lead on the 165,000m2 New Children’s Hospital in Dublin. The project, due for completion in 2024, is the largest, most complex and significant capital investment project ever undertaken in healthcare in Ireland. Dominic was also the Design Team Leader of BDP’s successful submission made for the RIBA run Architectural competition for the new Children's Cancer Centre for Great Ormond Street Hospital. Dominic was also the Project Director of the new Oak Cancer Centre for the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, South London. The building is a new outpatient clinical care and research facility and was funded by charitable donations. It will contain a new day care unit principally composed of 63 chemotherapy infusion bays which are arrayed in a sweeping crescent facing a new richly landscaped garden. Located within the heart of the facility is a floor for dry lab research. The project will have strong links with the adjacent Institute of Cancer Research headquarters, the Royal Marden's Academic research partner and sits in the centre of the wider London Cancer Hub masterplan. The project was opened by the Royal Marsden's President, HRH The Prince of Wales in June 2023. Dominic is also currently the Project Director for the New Hospital Programme scheme for a 55,000m2 new Specialist Emergency Care Hospital for Epsom & St Helier University Hospital which is collocated with the Oak Cancer Centre on the Sutton Campus, and a new 10,000m2 specialist Renal Unit for St George’s University Hospital campus in Tooting.
