The research identified the need for a national network of specialised community mental health hubs that can provide rapid and expert backup for GPs or Headspace centres and meet the urgent and ongoing needs of more complex patients at locations which are close to home and have the capacity for extended hours outreach.​ The literature review was followed by a design research stage which examined two potential sites for new types of community / mental health accommodation. A number of new typologies was tested at the two locations and options showing the most potential were explored in more detail, expressed in site plans and 3D visualisations.

  • Alexandria Health Centre shortlisted at World Architecture Festival Awards | MAAP Architects

    18 July 2023 Alexandria Health Centre shortlisted at World Architecture Festival Awards MAAP are pleased to announce that Alexandria Health Centre has been shortlisted at in the 2023 World Architecture Festival Awards. Alexandria Health Centre, designed in collaboration with Warren and Mahoney Architects, has been nominated in the Future Health category for buildings still in design - a resounding endorsement of the team's vision for the project. The facility aims to raise awareness, promote acceptance, offer support, and aid in recovery and healing. To achieve this goal, the project has identified four key design drivers: sound clinical planning; an elevated customer experience; a considered urban response; and embedding a connection to country and Indigenous concepts of wellness. Early engagement with Indigenous practitioners has helped to embed Indigenous values and stories into the project, connecting to place and helping to reconnect consumers to country. The building takes inspiration from the bamuru (kangaroo grass), with its soft curves and rich color. The plant provided sustenance for early communities and was integral in the regeneration of native creeks. The project draws metaphorical inspiration from this power of resurfacing knowledge and identity to create wellbeing. The materiality and composition of the façade utilizes natural materials that reference the urban fabric and have been chosen throughout to ensure the building responds to its local context. The project places functionality, equality, and dignity for all people at the forefront of its design. Soft edges, a strong connection to nature, clear and accessible circulation and warm materiality create an environment that will be calming and comfortable to return to over time – creating a positive experience to embark on their healing journey. Embedded through architecture, this project is committed to exceptional sustainability performance, with a particular focus on reducing built area, passive design strategies, connection to nature, and design for health and wellbeing.

  • Westmead Health Precinct | MAAP Architects

    Location Westmead NSW, Australia Client NSW Health Infrastructure | Western Sydney Local Health District Role Architect, Masterplanner Year 2014 Value $1b Contact Mungo Smith The Westmead Hospital Precinct Masterplan by MAAP is intended to inform strategic decision-making on the future of Australia’s largest and most intensively used concentration of health assets. After four decades of piecemeal redevelopment, the original hospital structure has exhausted its surplus capacity. The 2014 Masterplan sought to extend the hospital’s life for another forty years by identifying opportunities for short and long term expansion for the four co-located precinct hospitals and potential for the consolidation of infrastructure with flexibility for unpredictable changes in models of care, technology, and patient profiles over coming decades. Westmead Health Precinct ​ ​ ​ Shoalhaven Hospital Multi-Deck Carpark ​ The Prince Charles Hospital ​ Glenside Health Campus ​ See All › Related Projects The vision involves rerouting the major diagonal artery through the site to establish a flexible orthogonal block structure that reduces wasted space and creates a logic for way-finding. It maximises development capacity, freeing up land at strategic locations for academic partners and complementary development to reinforce the site's growth as a major academic health science centre. The precinct already provides more than 400,000 sqm of clinical, research and academic facilities. The masterplan demonstrates capacity to more than double in the next two decades and support the creation of 25,000 new jobs. Anticipated uses include bio-medical, residential accommodation and commercial and retail together with new specialist research and academic facilities.
