IUIH is the client of this project and their goal is to improve Indigenous health by providing a culturally appropriat and safe space for them to visit with their kin.
This project is situated on a unique triangular island in the busy junction of Goodna. The site provides opportunities for improving streetscape and pedestrian access. Rhythm's concept centers on the play between light, nature and earth. This clinic is mainly constructed of natural materials like timber rammed earth, chosen for its warmth, low-embodied carbon and unique aesthetics. Sawtooth roofs was featured to introduce light to each section of the clinic as an attempt to break away from the typical sterile medical environment.
