Aviation Lane | The Mill: Architecture + Design

Aviation Lane is the culmination of ten years of collaboration between client and architect. The completed project centres around providing a healthy, supportive and connected workplace setting that puts people at the heart of every decision. Great efforts have been made to provide a space that genuinely supports varied workstyles, provokes collaboration and fosters connection.

The space celebrates many of the features of modern workplace design without losing the individuality that makes different government departments what they are. All design decisions were aimed at providing flexible, connected and healthy spaces, with the final build coming in under budget in spite of an inflated pandemic market.

Aviation Lane shows what a considered collaboration between client and architect can achieve, and what the future of workplace design looks like. It celebrates the people behind the work, and aims to provide a home away from home.

ACT Health Centre, Duntroon, Canberra | Jacobs Group (Australia) Pty Ltd

Located at the Duntroon Military Area in the inner–city suburb of Campbell west of Canberra Civic precinct, the ACT Health Centre (ACTHC) is a part of the first phase of the Australia Defence Force Joint Health Command Program and provides healthcare for ADF members within the Barracks and in Canberra generally.

To create a restorative environment the building design is understated, with a palette of muted and earthy tones that reflect the local environment. Simple texture and repetitive building elements articulate the facilities mass with shadow and relief, creating
a façade with a sense of depth and dynamism.

The ACTHC is intuitive and welcoming, with continuous access to natural light and external landscaping relief areas. Waiting areas and courtyard spaces are private where staff and patients can relax and convalesce, whilst treatment spaces are designed to be flexible and multi–purpose and aim to reduce the stigma surround mental health services.
