Conrad Gargett: Conrad Gargett Australia’s most experienced and highly regarded specialist healthcare design firm
Monday, 16 March, 2015
Conrad Gargett has worked with both public and private sector clients in the delivery of healthcare facilities including community health, hospitals, oral health, mental health, senior care and medical laboratories.
Conrad Gargett offers comprehensive service from site master planning and brief preparation through to the design of specialist clinical facilities. Allied design services include interior design and landscape architecture.
Conrad Gargett’s recent health projects include Australia’s first fully digital hospital - St Stephen’s Hospital in Hervey Bay, and the $1.5 billion Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital (with Lyons) in Brisbane. Both projects opened in 2014 and are widely regarded as being at the forefront of innovation in healthcare design. In 2013, the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital was awarded the International Future Health Project award by the International Academy for Design and Health.
Briefing for both projects stipulated a building that contributed to the local community and environment. This was achieved through a number of ways notably it is the prominent window apertures in both hospitals which attract attention. The permeability of the healthcare design response combined with connections to public zones makes these hospitals community buildings.
Conrad Gargett has adopted a long-term approach in helping shape the future of healthcare design. The practice undertakes extensive research and monitoring of the latest care models and medical innovations to address and manage ongoing changes in health services and provide flexibility in design.
