The new clinical services building forms the centrepiece of the new Caboolture Hospital Redevelopment, on the site of the existing hospital, delivering a modern, functional and efficient healthcare building. This new building has created real change for both the staff and community by interweaving architecture, interiors and landscape, bringing a landscape character right into the heart of the design whilst offering contemporary care in a contemporary facility for the locals of the Caboolture region.
This interior fit-out sensitively blends clinical function with community and cultural care. Openable windows, landscaped verandahs, and calming colours bring a sense of comfort and domestic familiarity, particularly in palliative spaces. Local First Nations artworks, storytelling, and natural materials like timber reflect cultural identity and warmth. A central courtyard anchors the design, offering intuitive wayfinding and a peaceful meeting place. The result is a welcoming, thoughtful environment that supports wellbeing and sets a progressive benchmark for accessible and culturally responsive healthcare.
“The Design Optimisation use of “small interventions” was very successful and gave the Client a lot to think about in terms of assessing options in terms of buildability in the future – very successful.
The alternative design Jacobs offered gave the Client a lot to think about in terms of keeping the hospital operational during construction, improving the buildability and function in the future. We now have more green spaces, a new front entry identity and a culturally appropriate space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and visitors”.
