Project Completed by Baade Harbour Geelong (BHA)

New Day Oncology Unit incorporating 15 dialysis day chairs, palliative care, Wellness Centre & ancillary support spaces located in Regional Victoria. The new facility provides crucial health support for cancer patients and their families within the communities of Horsham and throughout north-west regional Victoria and both replaced outdated services, along with providing new services previously not offered in the region.

The project focused on creating a bright and spacious facility, with natural light utilised to create a comfortable, safe surround for patients who were receiving their treatment, together with their support team, carers and health professionals. The modern facility was designed to reflect the regions character and to create an inclusive environment for the community.

A holistic design approach was adopted to balance the needs of patients, staff and the community in a flexible building that brings together the landscape, natural light, and the latest technologies. There is also a focus for the design of the patient areas to create calming, healing and healthy environments, through the use of natural light, views and materials.
