OVERALL VIEW (FROM NORTH-WEST)

The overall design is inspired by the linear design of the hospital building. A series of garden rooms are created along the length of the courtyard, each targeting

different senses to promote wellbeing through contact with nature.

of the site, Meredith Park east of the site, and the Thames River walkway south of the site.

plaster details from the Nurse’s Residence.

CENTRAL PLAZA

The reflexology path leads to the Central Plaza, creating a clearing in the heart of the courtyard. Moveable seating is located underneath the bosque along one side,

which also hosts the Hospital emblem from the Children’s and Education Centre.


CENTRAL PLAZA, LOOKING TOWARDS COLBORNE BUILDING

The Colborne Building features prominently in the opening created by the Central Plaza, allowing for the heritage features to take centre stage. A planting bed at the base

provides privacy and a buffer for the internal residential units. This planting space can switched to a raised podium for access to retail units if needed.


VIEW DOWN PROMENADE TOWARDS RIVER

A long view corridor is maintained through the courtyard to the River.


GARDEN ROOMS

A series of garden rooms step down through lush planting beds. The intimate spaces suit smaller groups for meaningful conversation or time to rest.


VIEW FROM GARDEN ROOM

Any of the Garden Rooms could be converted into a bookable space for the adjacent retail (e.g. for parties for

a restaurant), or maintained as an open public space.


RETAIL PATIO

A large patio is provided for the south retail units, able to accommodate café or outdoor dining space.


PLAY SPACE AND AMPHITHEATRE

A large set of amphitheatre steps leads down from the raised patio and overlooks a playful space for children.


SOUTH CORNER ENTRANCE

A pathway leads through the play space from the entrance.


VIEW DOWN PROMENADE FROM SOUTH ENTRANCE

The promenade maintains a viewshed back towards the War Memorial Children’s Hospital, framed by a colonnade of trees on

both sides.
