Echuca Regional Health

This carefully considered design responds to Echuca’s local geography and existing built landscape while providing world’s best practice health care services.

Our planning considered the importance of enhanced respite areas and public spaces through inclusion of cultural artworks and historic connections. Timber reclaimed from the town's historic wharves enhanced the main entrance, strengthening the community connection.

The hospital boasts an array of sustainable features, including one of Australia’s largest solar thermal cooling installations and an air conditioning system that pumps 100% fresh air into the building.

Echuca Regional Health is saving around $60,000 a year on energy costs while providing staff with a healthy working environment and patients with the best place to heal.
