COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE CARLTON CONNECT

A community health centre that acknowledges the past present and the future. Focusing heavily on the large community of Indigenous Australians within the suburb of Fitzroy. The healthcare centre has not only been designed with a deep programmatical connection to the land and its environment, but also refers in form to the existing landscape, utilizing the contours of the site to generate the form of the building.

The CLT frame makes reference to the traditional brick arch most likely used in the 1884 primary school that once existed on the site. The CLT Gridshell roof allows the occupant to experience the full extent of the day, drawing inspiration from the ephemeral nature of dappled light within a forest. The use of CLT has been extensively used in this design for its environmental and psychological benefits.

The healthcare centre itself aims to become a beacon of hope within the community of Carlton and the wider areas. It aims to destroy the institutional feeling of a clinic and integrate medical disciplines in order to create a new and improved, inclusive method of healthcare.
