Wynnum Manly Community Health Centre, Gundu Pa

Wynnum West, Queensland

Designed by Wilson Architects as part of ADCO Construction’s design team. The new health precinct operated by Metro South Hospital and Health Service, is home to a 24-hour primary care clinic, a range of allied health and specialist services, as well as oral and mental health services. 

Our design approach creates an integrated care centre that achieves a balance between positive healthcare experience and functional efficiency. Wilson Architects avoided using traditional long clinical corridors, and instead, provided access to natural daylight, and views of nature and the landscape from all walkways. 

Visitors enter the Health Centre via a calming, natural landscaped courtyard to a central reception and waiting area. Each of the various departments are located off this central landscaped space, which creates an experience within a natural setting of living plants. The landscape is an integral part of the design concept. The landscape design reinforces the circulation patterns upon approach and within the facility, as well as de-institutionalising typically-clinical places.
