Children’s Street

The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, the building features an indoor street called “Main Street,” which connects various departments and services, and is designed to be child-friendly with play areas, interactive displays, and colorful artwork. The hospital was built using new ideas developed by RCH and the Department of Health and Human Services which focus on caring for families.

The building is located in Royal Park and looks like the colors of the nearby trees and nature. Using innovative and evidence-based design principles, the RCH aims to promote a restorative and healing environment for children and their families. The hospital’s construction has been completed, providing public amenities such as a large playground and large grassy areas for respite. Ron Billard, BLP Director, has expressed his excitement for the Royal Children’s Hospital project to be recognized in these prestigious awards, as it is an international exemplar for innovative and transformative design, harmonizing perfectly with its parkland setting.
