BIOMIMICRY: OUR DESIGN LENS Biomimicry is the lens B+H uses to engage regenerative design. Rather than copying how nature looks, biomimicry learns from how living systems function, adapt, and thrive. It helps us understand what nature is already doing in a place and how design can work with those systems. This way of thinking is not new. Indigenous Peoples around the world have long understood humans as part of nature and have developed distinct, place-based knowledge grounded in relationship, reciprocity, and responsibility to the land. We recognize these longstanding ways of knowing and seek to work with Indigenous communities where appropriate, respecting that knowledge is specific to each Nation, community, and place. Nature becomes a model, mentor, and measure for creating projects that are more resilient and better connected to their environment.

What does this place want to do?
What will it support?
What will it permit?
What might it inspire?
+ What ecological processes and relationships are already at work?
+ We look at existing ecological services the free engineering that nature provides to see how it can support our resilience.
+ Nature has a trajectory, and with climate change that trajectory is becoming much more difficult to predict
+ Through biomimicry, we learn from the timetested genius of the site how to solve our design problems
+ Pre-design risk assessments allow us to understand the trajectory of a place and how we will best fit in
+ Learn from local organisms how to self-cool, create circular economies, leverage solar energy, dissipate storms, or build with benign materials
+ Understand existing ecological assets, services, and opportunities to integrate as Naturebased Solutions
By building this understanding early, the Living Story helps teams:
+ Helps reduce risk and costs associated with climate change
+ It is expensive fighting nature, which is why the pre-design Living Story helps us avoid unnecessary costs
+ Identify climate risks and resilience opportunities early
+ Inform planning, infrastructure, and site decisions
+ Reduce uncertainty before significant design investment
+ Embed regenerative principles from the outset
+ Expand innovation by exploring the billionyear old ideas in nature

SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL RENAL CENTRE
RESPONDING TO URGENCY THROUGH INNOVATION The Surrey Memorial Hospital Renal Centre, designed and delivered by B+H Architects, is a purpose-built outpatient facility designed to support highquality renal care within a calm, efficient, and patient-centered environment. The design prioritizes clear circulation, strong visual connectivity, and access to natural light, helping to reduce patient stress during frequent and extended treatment visits. Clinical spaces are carefully organized to optimize staff workflows and observation, while integrating specialized dialysis infrastructure within a highly coordinated building systems framework. The architecture balances technical performance with a welcoming, human-scaled interior environment appropriate for long-duration care. The project was delivered via an innovative fast-track methodology, adopting an Integrated Design Process (IDP) methodology in order to achieve the project schedule aspirations. Key stakeholders, decision-makers, project managers, consultants, the construction manager, and key trades were colocated during the design phases, enabling real-time coordination, rapid decision-making, and continuous cost and constructibility feedback. This collaborative model allowed design and construction planning to proceed concurrently, advancing from concept to construction start in less than eight months. Supported by the implementation of a federated BIM model, active stakeholder engagement, and supportive design-assist where beneficial, the project is a testament to delivery of a complex, high-quality healthcare facility on a challenging site within a remarkably short time.

BURNABY HOSPITAL - REDEVELOPMENT PHASE 1
SUPPORTING GROWTH ON AN EXPANDING CAMPUS Phase 1 of the Burnaby Hospital Redevelopment delivered critical new clinical capacity and infrastructure to support the hospital’s long‑term growth. Completed in joint venture with Diamond Schmitt Architects and KRA Architecture, the project includes the six‑storey Keith and Betty Beedie Pavilion, a new energy centre, and major upgrades to existing facilities across the campus. The Beedie Pavilion provides 83 inpatient beds, primarily in single‑patient rooms with private bathrooms, and accommodates mental health and substance use services, maternity and labour and delivery, neonatal intensive care, and medical inpatient units. Purpose‑designed infection control features, including negative pressure rooms and outbreak zones, support patient safety and operational resilience. Campus upgrades included a significantly expanded Emergency Department, four new operating rooms, additional pre‑ and post‑operative recovery spaces, and a new medical device reprocessing unit. A new energy centre replaced the aging power plant, increasing electrical capacity and supporting future expansion. Guided by evidence‑based design principles, the project enhances patient well-being, staff efficiency, and clarity of movement through access to natural light, views to nature, intuitive wayfinding, and improved privacy. Interior design elements draw inspiration from Burnaby’s natural landscapes, contributing to a calm and welcoming healthcare environment.

QEII HEALTH SCIENCES CENTRE HALIFAX INFIRMARY EXPANSION
CONSTRUCTING A MODERN, STATE-OF-THE-ART HEALTHCARE FACILITY As part of the Plenary PCL Health Consortium, B+H, in association with Arcadis, is leading the design of the major expansion of the QEII Halifax Infirmary, a multi‑campus teaching and research institution, and the largest healthcare infrastructure project ever undertaken in Atlantic Canada. The architectural concept is rooted in Nova Scotia’s Atlantic coastline, drawing inspiration from weathered rock formations, shifting light, and the reflective qualities of water. These influences shape a layered façade with varied depth, texture, and tonal variation, creating an architecture that is expressive, contextual, and responsive to changing light conditions. Rhythmic articulation balances civic presence with human scale, reinforcing clarity, approachability, and legibility for a public healthcare institution. Daylight, long views, and access to nature are integral to the design, supporting healing, wellbeing, and a calm patient experience. In addition to the overall building architecture, B+H is responsible for the design of critical clinical environments—including the Operating Rooms, Emergency Department, and Medical Device Reprocessing—delivering a flexible, future‑ready healthcare facility.

WEST LINCOLN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE As the PDC team, B+H Architects / mcCallumSather prepared project documents, including output specifications that formed the guidelines and performance requirements the successful building team had to meet when preparing the design. The PDC team also monitored construction progress and provided coordination and oversight during commissioning, completion, and transition to the new hospital. The West Lincoln Memorial Hospital project involved constructing a new, larger hospital on the property behind the existing facility. Features included acute inpatient beds, a 24-hour Emergency Department, maternal and newborn services, day surgical services including endoscopy and minor procedures, increased outpatient (ambulatory) care space to expand availability of consultation services closer to home, and advanced diagnostics including X-ray, mammography, echocardiography and ultrasound, and CT scanner. The project was delivered under Infrastructure Ontario’s public-private partnership (P3), DBF model, which transferred the risks associated with design, construction and financing a complex hospital project to the private sector. The new facility was publicly owned, controlled and accountable.

WELCOMING AND ENGAGING COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE This major renovation and expansion renews the former Toronto East General Hospital as a welcoming and engaging community gathering place and hub for health and wellness. The hospital’s main Coxwell Avenue frontage transforms into a lushly-landscaped urban oasis, a series of outdoor rooms shaded by oak and maple trees and subtly demarcated for conversation, play and quiet contemplation as well as for public events. The abundant greenery also links pedestrians to the hospital’s new main entrance, an expansive double-height atrium that overlooks the entrance court through floor-to-ceiling glass. The main entrance is in turn framed by the Ken and Marilyn Thompson Patient Care Centre, a new eight-storey wing that consolidates ambulatory care services and houses 215 inpatient beds, 80% of which are in single-patient rooms to enhance privacy, safety and infection control. Advanced new CT and MRI suites enable faster and more precise diagnostic imaging. A highly insulated building envelope and high-efficiency HVAC and lighting systems will help achieve LEED Silver certification for building performance.

REDEVELOPMENT OF GRANTHAM HOSPITAL PHASE 1
TAPPING INTO THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE The Redevelopment of Grantham Hospital in Hong Kong will take place over 2 phases, with Phase 1 housing the Clinical Block and Cancer Centre and the The University of Hong Kong (HKU) Cancer Research Laboratory. The hospitals first phase comprises 500 inpatient beds for oncology, surgical, medical ophthalmology and other services. The clinical services have a significant focus on cancer care facilities including 6 Linac units (two shelled for future expansion), a Radiotherapy PET MR Centre and dedicated Cancer Day Care facilities with an infusion unit. The other clinical facilities include a large Pathology department, Cardiac Centre, Breast surgery centre, Day Surgery Centre, Endoscopy Centre and an expansive Ambulatory Care Centre. A state-of-the-art Cancer Innovation and Research Centre, a collaboration between the Hospital Authority and University of Hong Kong (HKU) , will also be delivered within Phase 1 to bring clinical research in cancer care close to the bedside, and enable a holistic delivery of cancer services to patients in the region. The entire facility is design to take account of the steeply sloping terrain to provide for multi-level entry points into both facilities. This enables a clear segregation of flows despite the tight site. The main hospital entrance level connects to both the onsite vehicle drop-offs for buses and taxis as well as a dedicated link to the MTR. The drive to simplify wayfinding and create an uplifting internal environment for the hospital led to a clear colour theming in the interior design linked to the key local settings proximate to the hospital. Ocean (Cool Blue), Mountain (Warm Orange) and Forest (Smooth Green) Zones were inspired by the locality with the inpatient ward floors becoming the Sunrise Zone bringing bright, cheerful colours into the care areas, reinforced by graphic representations of local flora within each theme.

CREATING LINKS TO CARE AND COMMUNITY The National Skin Centre expansion announces a new Southern Gateway to the proposed master plan for the Health City @ Novena, using the topography to subtly frame the approach using rising terraces and cantilevered building masses carefully portioned to draw you in to the space. The new building is expressed as two massing components. The lower building element comfortably relates the National Skin Centre (NSC) block in scale and massing to the existing building providing easy linkages, courtyards and expansion potential whilst the upper block provides a unique identity and expression to the National Healthcare Group, (NHG). The massing aims to maximize the development potential of the available land without overwhelming the important public spaces it helps define. To encourage the use of public transport, there are covered pedestrian approaches from both the MRT and bus stops from the South West and South respectively. These are separated from the vehicular traffic which approaches the site from the East to a covered drop off under the new building that is shared with the existing building. These convenient pedestrian routes rise up through gentle ramps to a civic plaza or campus green and the proposed boulevard connecting the components of master plan including the expansion of the TTS Ambulatory Block and Medical School.

Through planning and design, Taikang’s “five-in-one” product concept is comprehensively carried: warm and spiritual home, open university, elegant club, high-end medical care. The goal is for the elderly living in the Taikang community to feel the continuation of “home” and expand the scope of “home”. Residents are fully encouraged to step out of their homes and take an active role as masters of the community, from passively accepting services provided by the community to gradually becoming creators of the community culture. At the same time, residents focus on their family relationships and the social relationships the personnel needs, and the surrounding residents demand. This creates the feeling that the Taikang pension community is an attractive “old Disney”, and through the design of the space they are able to build a continuation of family relations and social relations, allowing community residents to truly make life more meaningful.
