The healing power of a good cuppa

The scheme sets a new benchmark in health facility design, focused on humanising the experience for patients, families, and carers.

Entry is through a relaxed café and lounge, using natural materials and indoor plants to create a welcoming, domestic atmosphere. Family and carers are encouraged to stay, work, or enjoy communal and private spaces, including child-friendly play areas. A kiosk opens to the community, reducing boundaries between hospital and neighbourhood.

Abundant natural light permeates all spaces, including clinical areas. The northern façade symbolises the healing journey with increasing glazing from NE to NW.

The building provides four state-of-the-art surgical theatres, flexible recovery areas, six overnight beds, and generous staff facilities. Become led health planning, architecture, and interior design, guiding the project through NSW Health licensing while balancing operational and patient-centred requirements.

Positive Impact

The clients mission “to provide excellent care to each patient every day, with a spirit of warmth, friendliness and compassion” permeated all design decisions and led to a truly human-centric outcome.
