Southern Cross Specialist Centre At Eleven
Warren and Mahoney undertook a comprehensive masterplan for Southern Cross Hospital in 2005 and to date the overall development has included facilities for a varied array of medical consultants offering on-site services.
The last of the buildings to be designed was this 4 storey facility. The brief was for two floors of parking and consulting suites for orthopaedic surgeons, hand and wrist surgeons, plastic surgeons and a tenancy for a group of anaesthetists.
The design approach was to provide a ‘lighter’ aesthetic to the building as a contrast to the ‘heavier’ adjacent buildings – and the resultant outcome has a steel structure with the façade comprising of full glazing and vertical fins to the east and west.
