The project provides two single-sex assessment and treatment wards called Roker and Mowbray, (making reference to the local landmarks), each containing 10 en-suite bedrooms, with an additional 4 rooms accommodated centrally between these wards, known as a ‘swing-zone’. A range of additional shared accommodation for patients, staff and visitors provides a ‘front-of-house’ component.

Consultation was undertaken with Stirling University Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) which facilitates world-leading consultancy and research into dementia care and the project was awarded gold standard certification in 2013. Roker and Mowbray Dementia Care Centre This unit has achieved truly remarkable levels of dementia friendliness within the constraints of normal NHS mental health requirements. It is without doubt one of the best NHS efforts at dementia friendly design that we have seen. There are a host of little details that all add up to creating a genuinely dementia friendly environment. Emeritus Professor Mary Marshall Director, Dementia Services Development Centre, University of Sterling Jacaranda Place Clock View Glenside Health Campus See All › Related Projects The internal layout is critically important for the success of the project and ward plans have been kept as wide and spacious as possible. This allows staff to effectively observe and engage patients and maximises space for the patient group. The design provides adaptable, open-plan living spaces linked with more intimate, cosy areas for activities and privacy. Each ward is planned around a landscaped courtyard giving patients direct and free access to safe and secure gardens.

- Clock View Hospital recognised for enduring value | MAAP Architects
Clock View Hospital has won the Healthcare category at the Architecture Today Awards 2022. 3 March 2023 Clock View Hospital recognised for enduring value Clock View Hospital has won the Healthcare category at the Architecture Today Awards 2022. The Architecture Today Awards were created specifically to draw attention to projects that demonstrate timelessness and ongoing design excellence. Only considering projects that have been in use for at least three years, but looking for projects that have been around for much longer than that, they recognise architecture that demonstrates an ongoing record of delivering on environmental, functional, community and cultural promises. In his adjudicating remarks, RIBA President Simon Allford described the project as on that "connects well with its neighbours, presenting a welcoming white-yet-warm domestic architecture that has an appropriate civic presence that both welcomes visitors and helps to calm residents. Its well planted gardens have matured beautifully and offer delight to all who pass through and by.” Peter Bishop, the former director of Design for London, said that “if any form of architecture can transform the quality of life then it is in the medical sphere. The judges were particularly impressed by the attention given to the experience of friends and relatives visiting the hospital. The step change from the previous building was remarkable. This is the architecture of dignity and humanism.” Recognition of projects designed for flexibility and adaptability, that respond to changing models of care, and that have an enduring legacy in the wellbeing of both patients and staff, is a very welcome development in the awards prgram for the AEC industry.

- 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.

Location St Leonards NSW, Australia Client NSW Health Infrastructure | Northern Sydney Local Health District Role Architect, Masterplanner, Health Planner Year 2012 Value not disclosed Contact Mungo Smith MAAP's Royal North Shore Hospital masterplan was developed for Health Infrastructure NSW and has informed future development and utilisation at the hospital campus, ensuring the site is able to respond to the current and future needs and provide appropriate clinical, academic, teaching and education services. Royal North Shore Hospital Healthcare facilities must fit comfortably into the urban and social fabric of communities, respecting the urban design tenets that underpin successful public buildings. We have a natural empathy for the collaborative, consultative approach that must be adopted when working on large community projects. Bob Willis Director, Medical Architecture Shoalhaven Hospital Multi-Deck Carpark The Prince Charles Hospital Glenside Health Campus See All › Related Projects The steeply sloping topography makes the RNSH campus difficult to access and presented a key challenge for the masterplan. MAAP's three dimensional development framework has successfully supported the delivery of 150,000 sqm of new acute facilities and a further 200,000 sqm of complementary development in a clearly organised urban structure. The masterplan has placed an emphasis on integrating clinical, research and education services and provision of versatile future-ready facilities and amenities capable of attracting and retaining the best people. The urban design frames existing heritage buildings to create a campus heart that reinforces the site's sense of identity with legible way-finding to draw in the community, improved connections to transport and support equitable access to clinical services and high quality public open space.

- Alexandria Health Centre shortlisted at World Architecture Festival Awards | MAAP Architects
MAAP are pleased to announce that Alexandria Health Centre has been shortlisted at in the 2023 World Architecture Festival Awards. 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.
