Indesign #79

Ideas
Healing with dignity
“We must continue to focus on delivering human-centred solutions that encourage a patient’s sense of worth.” Studio director at Bates Smart, Mark Healy on the challenges and responsibilities of healthcare models in the contemporary context.

Project
Anything but clinical
The architects of Cabrini Malvern’s new Gandel Wing have envisaged wards that feel both polished and hotel-like in quality. But it’s the focus on safety requirements and functional needs of patients and staff that really shines through.

Project
Meet the neighbours
Set within general residential zoning on Hoddle Street in Melbourne, McCorkell Brown Group’s offices by Ha Architecture achieve a fine balance between appeasing the neighbours and preparing for the next 20 years in business.

Ideas
Fight for affordable housing
